UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμῖν

you_all

Because Jesus is speaking to the disciples, the word you here is plural.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πρῶτος

first

Here, Jesus is speaking of being important or respected as if it were being first. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this word in 9:35. Alternate translation: “respected” or “significant”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ἔσται

will_be

Jesus is using the future form to give a command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea using a form that expresses a command or obligation. See how you translated the similar form in 9:35. Alternate translation: “should be” or “has to be”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἔσται πάντων δοῦλος

will_be ˱of˲_all slave

Jesus speaks of being a slave to emphasize the great effort Jesus’ followers should make to serve others. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language that shows service, or you could clarify that Jesus is teaching that his followers must act in a way that is similar to slaves in their service to others. Alternate translation: “will dedicate himself or herself to serve all” or “will work hard at helping all”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πάντων

˱of˲_all

Jesus is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all the other disciples. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “of all the other disciples” or “the rest of the disciples”
