UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμῖν

˱to˲_you_all

Because Jesus is speaking to the crowd, the word you is singular.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πάντα ἀφεθήσεται τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὰ ἁμαρτήματα καὶ αἱ βλασφημίαι, ὅσα ἐὰν βλασφημήσωσιν

all /will_be_being/_forgiven ˱to˲_the sons ¬the ˱of˲_men the sins and the slander as_many_as ¬if ˱they˲_/may/_slander

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 will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: “God will forgive the sons of men for all the sins and the blasphemies, as much as they may blaspheme”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντα ἀφεθήσεται & τὰ ἁμαρτήματα καὶ αἱ βλασφημίαι, ὅσα ἐὰν βλασφημήσωσιν

all /will_be_being/_forgiven & the sins and the slander as_many_as ¬if ˱they˲_/may/_slander

Here Jesus is indicating that God forgives all kinds of sins and blasphemies, not that God will forgive every single sin or blasphemy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “all sins and blasphemies, as much as they may blaspheme, can be forgiven” or “all kinds of sins and blasphemies, as much as they may blaspheme, will be forgiven men”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πάντα ἀφεθήσεται & τὰ ἁμαρτήματα καὶ αἱ βλασφημίαι, ὅσα ἐὰν βλασφημήσωσιν

all /will_be_being/_forgiven & the sins and the slander as_many_as ¬if ˱they˲_/may/_slander

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of sins and blasphemies, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “all sinful and blasphemous things, as much as they may blaspheme, will be forgiven” or “whenever anyone sins or blasphemes in any way, it will be forgiven”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ἀφεθήσεται & αἱ βλασφημίαι, ὅσα ἐὰν βλασφημήσωσιν

/will_be_being/_forgiven & the slander as_many_as ¬if ˱they˲_/may/_slander

The expression whatever they may blaspheme 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: “all the blasphemies will be forgiven”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων

˱to˲_the sons ¬the ˱of˲_men

Here, the phrase the sons of men refers to people in general, both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “men and women” or “humans”
