UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐκ ἔχει ἄφεσιν

not /is/_having forgiveness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of forgiveness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [will not be forgiven]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

against to ¬the eternity

Here, the phrase to eternity means that something lasts forever. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [forever]

Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants

ἔνοχός & αἰωνίου ἁμαρτήματος

liable & ˱of˲_eternal sin

Many ancient manuscripts read guilty of an eternal sin. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “deserving of eternal judgment.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αἰωνίου ἁμαρτήματος

˱of˲_eternal sin

Here Jesus means that the sin has eternal consequences. In other words, the person who commits this sin will always be guilty for it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [a sin with eternal consequences] or [eternally of this sin]
