UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος αὐτοῖς

these_‹things› ˱of˲_him speaking ˱to˲_them

Here Matthew uses the clause While he was saying these things to them to introduce a new event that began while Jesus was saying the words that Matthew records in the previous verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that introduces a new event that began during the previous event. Alternate translation: [Something happened while Jesus was saying these things to them:]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῦ & αὐτοῖς & αὐτῷ

˱of˲_him & ˱to˲_them & ˱to˲_him

Here, the pronouns he and him refer to Jesus, and the pronoun them refers to the disciples of John the Baptist. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the people’s names here. Alternate translation: [Jesus … to John the Baptist’s disciples … to Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἰδοὺ

behold

Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: [picture this] or [suddenly]

Note 4 topic: writing-participants

ἄρχων εἷς προσελθὼν, προσεκύνει

ruler one /having/_approached ˱he˲_/was/_prostrating

Here Matthew introduces the official as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: [a man approached. He was an official, and he bowed down]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ἄρχων εἷς

ruler one

While Mark and Luke identify this man as the ruler or leader of a synagogue, Matthew uses a more general title to identify him as a leader or important person. Since Matthew did not specify exactly what position this man had, you should use a general term for a leader or important person. Alternate translation: [a certain leader] or [a certain prominent man]

Note 6 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and he told him]

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

ἀλλὰ

but

Here, the word but introduces what the man wants Jesus to do, even though his daughter has already died. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: [but despite that] or [yet even though that has happened]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἀλλὰ ἐλθὼν ἐπίθες τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπ’ αὐτήν

but /having/_come lay_on the hand ˱of˲_you on her

This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [but I ask that you, having come, lay your hand on her]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθὼν

/having/_come

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: [having gone]

Note 10 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ

and

Here, the word and introduces what the man believes will happen as a result of Jesus laying his hand on his daughter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a result. Alternate translation: [and as a result,] or [and so]
