UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: translate-tense

Ἠλείας μὲν ἐλθὼν πρῶτον ἀποκατιστάνει πάντα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ ἔφη αὐτοῖς Ἠλίας μὲν ἐλθὼν πρῶτον ἀποκαθιστάνει πάντα καὶ πῶς γέγραπται ἐπὶ τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἵνα πολλὰ πάθῃ καὶ ἐξουδενηθῇ)

Here Jesus uses the present tense to describe something that is generally true. He does not necessarily mean that Elijah is currently doing these things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use whatever form is natural for stating a general truth. Alternate translation: [Elijah, having come first, will restore all things]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐλθὼν πρῶτον

/having/_come first

See how you translated “come first” in 9:11. Alternate translation: [having appeared first, before the Messiah does]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ

but

Here, the word And introduces something further that Jesus wants the disciples to think about. What he asks about at first appears to contrast with what he has said about Elijah. However, in the following verse Jesus will show how these things actually go together. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a further, potentially contrasting idea. Alternate translation: [Beyond that, though,] or [And yet,]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πῶς γέγραπται ἐπὶ τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, ἵνα πολλὰ πάθῃ καὶ ἐξουδενηθῇ?

how ˱it˲_/has_been/_written concerning the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man that many_‹things› ˱he˲_/may/_suffer and /may_be/_scorned

Jesus uses a rhetorical question here to remind his disciples that the Scriptures also teach that the Son of Man must suffer and be despised. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [I also want you to consider what is written about the Son of Man. The Scriptures say that he must suffer many things and be despised.]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

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 speaking through prophets. Alternate translation: [did the prophets say] or [did God have the prophets write]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, ἵνα & πάθῃ

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man that & ˱he˲_/may/_suffer

Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: [me, who am the Son of Man, that I would suffer]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐξουδενηθῇ

/may_be/_scorned

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 many would despise him] or [that they would despise him]
