UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

δεήθητε

/be/_besought

Here, the command is in plural form because Jesus is speaking to his disciples.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

τοῦ Κυρίου τοῦ θερισμοῦ, ὅπως ἐκβάλῃ ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν θερισμὸν αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_the harvest so_that ˱he˲_/may/_send_forth workers into the harvest ˱of˲_him

Here Jesus continues to speak of people who will believe as if they were a harvest and of those who proclaim the good news as if they were laborers who help with the harvest. He also describes God as the Lord of the harvest. He means that the disciples should ask God to send more people to proclaim the good news to others. Express the idea as you did in 9:37. Alternate translation: “the Lord, who is like the person in charge of the harvest, to send out more people who will proclaim the good news. These people are like the laborers for the harvest.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοῦ Κυρίου τοῦ θερισμοῦ

˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_the harvest

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe God as the one who is the Lord who is in charge of the harvest. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the Lord, who is in charge of the harvest”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

τοῦ θερισμοῦ, ὅπως ἐκβάλῃ ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν θερισμὸν αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_the ˱of˲_the harvest so_that ˱he˲_/may/_send_forth workers into the harvest ˱of˲_him

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “of the harvest, ‘Please send out laborers into your harvest.’”
