UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

μου ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην εἰσέλθῃς

˱of˲_me under the roof ˱you˲_/may/_come_in

The phrase enter under my roof means “come into my house.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you might personally visit me” or “you might enter into my house”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

μόνον εἰπὲ λόγῳ

only speak ˱by˲_/the/_word

Here, the centurion uses the command form to politely ask Jesus to speak a word. Use a form in your language that communicates this. Alternate translation: “please speak only a word”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

λόγῳ

˱by˲_/the/_word

Here the centurion means that Jesus can heal his servant by using a word of command, which is how Jesus healed the leper in 8:3. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that the centurion is referring to a single word of command. Alternate translation: “one order” or “a word of command”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἰαθήσεται ὁ παῖς μου

/will_be_being/_healed the servant ˱of˲_me

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is Jesus. Alternate translation: “you will heal my servant”
