UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκεῖθεν

from_there

Here, the word there refers to the place where Jesus healed the paralytic man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “from where he healed the man”

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον Μαθθαῖον λεγόμενον

˱he˲_saw /a/_man sitting at the tax_office (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ παράγων ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκεῖθεν εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον Ματθαῖον λεγόμενον καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ἀκολούθει μοι καὶ ἀναστὰς ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ)

Here Matthew introduces a tax collector named Matthew as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: “saw a man whose name was Matthew. Matthew was sitting at the tax collection office”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

Μαθθαῖον λεγόμενον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ παράγων ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκεῖθεν εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον Ματθαῖον λεγόμενον καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ἀκολούθει μοι καὶ ἀναστὰς ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ)

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. Alternate translation: “who had the name Matthew”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον

sitting at the tax_office

Here we learn that Matthew worked as a tax collector. He would sit at the tax collection office and make sure that people paid their taxes to the Roman empire, who had control over this area. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “who worked to collect taxes for the Romans at the tax collection office”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

λέγει αὐτῷ

˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_him

Here, the pronoun he refers to Jesus, and the pronoun him refers to Matthew. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the people’s names here. Alternate translation: “Jesus says to Matthew”

Note 6 topic: translate-tense

λέγει

˱he˲_/is/_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “he said”

ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ

˱he˲_followed ˱after˲_him

Here, the pronoun he refers to Matthew, and the pronoun him refers to Jesus. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the people’s names here. Alternate translation: “Matthew followed Jesus”
