UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

εἰ ὁ Σατανᾶς ἀνέστη ἐφ’ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἐμερίσθη, οὐ δύναται στῆναι, ἀλλὰ τέλος ἔχει

if ¬the Satan rose_up against himself and /was/_divided not ˱he˲_/is/_able /to/_stand but /an/_end /is/_having

Here Jesus uses an imaginary situation to help explain what would happen if Satan rose up against himself and was divided. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: “imagine that Satan rose up against himself and was divided. In that case, he would not be able to stand, but he would have an end”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ὁ Σατανᾶς ἀνέστη ἐφ’ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἐμερίσθη

¬the Satan rose_up against himself and /was/_divided

Jesus is using Satan to represent Satan and his demons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Satan and the demons that obey him rose up against themselves and were divided”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἀνέστη ἐφ’ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἐμερίσθη

rose_up against himself and /was/_divided

The phrases rose up against himself and was divided mean similar things. Jesus is using the two phrases together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single clause. Alternate translation: “was divided against himself”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐμερίσθη

/was/_divided

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: “attacked himself”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

οὐ δύναται στῆναι, ἀλλὰ τέλος ἔχει

not ˱he˲_/is/_able /to/_stand but /an/_end /is/_having

The clauses he is not able to stand and he has an end mean similar things. The first clause states the meaning negatively, and the second clause states the meaning positively. Jesus is using the two phrases together for emphasis. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word other than and in order to show that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternatively, you could combine the two clauses. Alternate translation: “he is not able to stand; yes, he has an end” or “he has his end”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ δύναται στῆναι

not ˱he˲_/is/_able /to/_stand

Here, the phrase is not able to stand means that Satan will not have authority or power much longer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he will no longer have power” or “he will not remain in control”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τέλος ἔχει

/an/_end /is/_having

Here, the word end refers to a time when Satan no longer has power and authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “his rule ends” or “his authority fails”
