UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὃς ἂν τόπος μὴ δέξηται

whatever ¬wishfully place not /may/_receive

Here, place represents represents the people who live in that place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “when the people in any place do not receive”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐκπορευόμενοι

going_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “coming” instead of going. Alternate translation: “coming out”

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

ἐκτινάξατε τὸν χοῦν τὸν ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν

shake_off the dust which beneath the feet ˱of˲_you_all

This action was an expression of strong rejection in this culture. It showed that someone did not want even the dust of a house or city to remain on them. If there is a similar gesture in your culture, you could consider referring to it here, or you could explain the meaning of the action. Alternate translation: “wash the dirt of that place off your hands” or “shake off the dust that is under your feet to sever your relationship with that place and”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς

for /a/_testimony ˱to˲_them

Here Jesus implies that the testimony indicates that these people are in danger of being punished by God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “for a testimony that they will be punished”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς μαρτύριον

for /a/_testimony

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of testimony, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to testify”

Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants

εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς

for /a/_testimony ˱to˲_them

Most ancient manuscripts end the verse with the words for a testimony against them. The ULT follows that reading. Some ancient manuscripts include another sentence after these words: “Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.” This sentence was probably added from Matthew 10:15. 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, it is recommended that you use the reading of the ULT.
