UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces what Jesus said in contrast to what James and John asked for. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “However,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

οὐκ οἴδατε & αἰτεῖσθε & δύνασθε

not ˱you_all˲_/have/_known & ˱you_all˲_/are/_requesting & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς οὐκ οἴδατε τί αἰτεῖσθε δύνασθε πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω ἢ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθῆναι)

Because Jesus is speaking to James and John, the words You and you are plural throughout this verse.

οὐκ οἴδατε

not ˱you_all˲_/have/_known

Alternate translation: “You do not understand”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω

/to/_drink the cup which I /am/_drinking

Here Jesus speaks of experiencing pain and suffering as if it were drinking from a cup. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain the figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to drink the cup of suffering which I drink” or “to experience the pain that I am about to experience”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ ποτήριον

the cup

Here, cup represents the drink inside the cup, which in Jesus’ culture would probably have been wine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the drink” or “the wine in the cup”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθῆναι

the the baptism which I /am_being/_baptized /to_be/_baptized

Here Jesus speaks of being overwhelmed by difficult circumstances and pain as if it were being baptized. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain the figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to be baptized in the painful circumstances in which I am about to be baptized” or “to be overwhelmed by difficult things like I am about to be overwhelmed”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ & βαπτισθῆναι

the the baptism which & /to_be/_baptized

The expression with the baptism with which contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “to be baptized as”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθῆναι

I I /am_being/_baptized /to_be/_baptized

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 did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “to have someone baptize you … someone will baptize me”
