UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

Here, just as in 4:21, the pronoun them could refer to: (1) all the people who were nearby, including both the disciples and the crowds. Alternate translation: “to the disciples and the crowds” or “everyone who was with him” (2) just the disciples. Alternate translation: “to the disciples”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

βλέπετε

/be/_watching_out

Here Jesus speaks as if people who Watch things that they hear. He means that they need to pay attention to what they hear. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Pay attention to”

Note 3 topic: writing-proverbs

ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν, καὶ προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν

with what measure ˱you_all˲_/are/_measuring ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_measured ˱to˲_you_all and ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_added ˱to˲_you_all

Here, Jesus uses or invents a proverb. He could be using it to teach: (1) that people learn and understand only whatever they chose to listen carefully to. Alternate translation: “Whatever you pay attention to is what you will learn and know” or “How you listen shows what you will know and understand” (2) that people eventually experience for themselves how they have treated other people. Alternate translation: “what you give to others is what you will get and acquire in return” or “what you do to others will be done to you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε

with what measure ˱you_all˲_/are/_measuring

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of measure, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “In the manner that you measure”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν, καὶ προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν

˱it˲_/will_be_being/_measured ˱to˲_you_all and ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_added ˱to˲_you_all

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 does the action, it is clear from the context that it is God. Alternate translation: “God will measure it to you, and he will add it to you”

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν, καὶ προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν

˱it˲_/will_be_being/_measured ˱to˲_you_all and ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_added ˱to˲_you_all

In both places, the word it refers to what you measure. Jesus is speaking in general about anything that people measure, so you should avoid making the phrase specific. Alternate translation: “the same thing will be measured to you, and it will be added to you” or “that very thing will be measured to you, and it will be added to you”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν

˱it˲_/will_be_being/_added ˱to˲_you_all

Here Jesus uses the phrase will be added to you to indicate that God will give all what is measured. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it will be given to you”
