UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 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 2 topic: writing-pronouns

προσέφερον & αὐτῶν

˱they˲_/were/_bringing & ˱of˲_them

Here, the pronouns they and their refer to the people who brought the paralytic to Jesus. Matthew does not give us any more information about who they were. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that refers to specific people who are not named. Alternate translation: [certain people were bringing … these people’s]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

παραλυτικὸν & τῷ παραλυτικῷ

/a/_paralytic & ˱to˲_the paralytic

The word paralytic describes people who are not able to use or control some or all of their arms and legs because of injury or sickness. See how you translated paralytic in 4:24. Alternate translation: [a paralyzed person … to the paralyzed person] or [a person who could not move his limbs … to the person who could not move his limbs]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

κλίνης

/a/_bed

A mat was a portable bed that could also be used to transport a person. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of bed, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [a stretcher]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἰδὼν & τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν

/having/_seen & the faith ˱of˲_them

Here Matthew implies that Jesus recognized that the friends of this paralyzed man strongly believed that he could heal him. Their actions proved that. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [having recognized that they were convinced that he could heal the paralytic]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν

the faith ˱of˲_them

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [how they trusted]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τέκνον

child

Here Jesus calls the paralytic Child to indicate that he cares for him. The word also implies that the paralytic was younger than Jesus. The paralytic was not actually Jesus’ son. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form of address that an older person would use to show that they care for a younger person. Alternate translation: [My friend] or [Young one]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

θάρσει

/be/_having_courage

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of courage, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [be courageous]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀφίενταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι

/are_being/_forgiven ˱of˲_you the sins

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: [I forgive your sins]
