UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ γενομένου Σαββάτου ἤρξατο διδάσκειν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ καὶ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες πόθεν τούτῳ ταῦτα καὶ τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ γινόμεναι)

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 Jesus and what he said and did. Alternate translation: “he astonished many of the ones hearing him, who were saying” or “what he said astonished many of the ones hearing him, who were saying”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες

Here, the phrase translated the many ones hearing him could refer to: (1) the many people who were hearing him. In this case, all of the many people were astonished. Alternate translation: “all the many people hearing him” (2) many of the people who were hearing him. In this case, not all of the people were astonished. Alternate translation: “many of the ones hearing him”

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and they said”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πόθεν τούτῳ ταῦτα, καὶ τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ γινόμεναι?

from_where ˱to˲_this_‹man› these_‹things› and what_‹is› the wisdom ¬which /having_been/_given ˱to˲_this_‹one› and the miracles such by the hands ˱of˲_him becoming

The people in Jesus’ hometown are using the question form to express their surprise that Jesus has wisdom and can do miracles. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “We are surprised to see this one doing these things, and we are surprised that this one has been given the wisdom and such miracles happening by his hands.” or “We have no idea where these things that this one does are from, and we do not know what the wisdom that has been given to this one is, and such miracles happening by his hands!”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πόθεν τούτῳ ταῦτα

from_where ˱to˲_this_‹man› these_‹things›

Here, the phrase From where to this one are these things asks about the source from which this one, Jesus, was able to do these things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “What is the source of these things for this one” or “How is this one able to do these things”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται

what_‹is› the wisdom ¬which /having_been/_given ˱to˲_this_‹one› and the miracles such

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “how is he as wise as he has been enabled to be, and what are these miracles”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ

the ¬which /having_been/_given ˱to˲_this_‹one›

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, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “that someone has given to this one”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ

by the hands ˱of˲_him

These people are using hands to represent Jesus acting powerfully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by him” or “through his actions”
