UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δέδοται

/has_been/_given

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 did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “God has given”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ μυστήριον & τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ

the mystery & ˱of˲_the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe the mystery that is about the kingdom of God. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the mystery concerning the kingdom of God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐκείνοις & τοῖς ἔξω

˱to˲_those & who_‹are› outside

Here Jesus speaks of people who are not his disciples as if they were outside. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to those, the ones who are not my disciples”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν παραβολαῖς τὰ πάντα γίνεται

in parables the_‹things› all /is/_becoming

Here Jesus implies that everything is what is he teaches, and he only teaches in parables. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “everything I teach is in parables” or “I use parables whenever I teach anything”
