Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parables

ἀλλ’ οὐ δύναται οὐδεὶς

but not /is/_able no_one

To teach the people, Jesus offers a story or illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “But listen to this story: No one is able”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

ἀλλ’

but

Here, the word But introduces what is true in contrast to the hypothetical situations he has been using to teach. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces what is true in contrast to a hypothetical situation, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “In reality, though,” or “However, as it really is,”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

οὐ δύναται οὐδεὶς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ ἰσχυροῦ εἰσελθὼν τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ διαρπάσαι, ἐὰν μὴ πρῶτον τὸν ἰσχυρὸν δήσῃ

not /is/_able no_one into the house ˱of˲_the strong_‹man› /having/_come_in the goods ˱of˲_him /to/_thoroughly_plunder if not first the strong_‹man› ˱he˲_/may/_bind

If, in your language, it would appear that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “no one, unless he has first bound the strong man, is able, entering into the house of that strong man, to steal his belongings”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

μὴ πρῶτον & δήσῃ & διαρπάσει

not first & ˱he˲_/may/_bind & ˱he˲_/will_be/_thoroughly_plundering

Although the term he in both these places is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “that person has not first bound … that person will plunder”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῦ διαρπάσει

˱of˲_him ˱of˲_him ˱he˲_/will_be/_thoroughly_plundering

Here, the word he refers to the person who is stealing. The word his refers to the strong man. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “the thief will plunder the strong man’s”
