UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

χιλιάρχων

˱of˲_commanders

The word chiliarchs describes officers in the Roman army who were in charge of groups of 1,000 soldiers. Alternate translation: “commanders”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἰσχυρῶν & ἐλευθέρων & μικρῶν & μεγάλων

˱of˲_mighty & free_‹men› & small & great

John is using these adjectives as nouns to mean a certain kinds of persons. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. (All of these adjectives are plural.) If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “of mighty people … of free people … of small people … of great people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

πάντων, ἐλευθέρων τε καὶ δούλων, καὶ μικρῶν καὶ μεγάλων

˱of˲_all free_‹men› both and slaves and small and great

John is using two extremes of status, whether people are free or slaves, to mean people across the entire range of status. John is using two extremes of importance, whether people are small or great, to mean people across the entire range of importance. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use equivalent expressions or plain language. Alternate translation: “of all people, no matter what their status and no matter what their importance”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

πάντων, ἐλευθέρων τε καὶ δούλων, καὶ μικρῶν καὶ μεγάλων

˱of˲_all free_‹men› both and slaves and small and great

These two phrases mean similar things. John is using repetition to emphasize the idea that the phrases express. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them. Alternate translation: “of people of every different kind”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μικρῶν καὶ μεγάλων

small and great

John is speaking as if unimportant people were literally small and as if important people were literally large or great. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “of the unimportant and of the important” or “of unimportant people and of important people”
