When you translate, you should put ideas into an order that is natural in the target language. (see [Order of Events](../figs-events/01.md))

When you translate, you should decide which of these implied ideas would be understood by your audience without being included. If your audience understands these ideas without including them in the text, then you do not need to make those ideas explicit. Remember also that you might even offend your audience if you needlessly present implied ideas that they would understand anyway.

Here the UDB makes it clear that the man who had leprosy did not fall to the ground by accident. Instead, he deliberately bowed down to the ground. Also, the UDB makes it clear that he is asking Jesus to heal him. In the ULB, he only implies this request.

The ULB often simply presents the symbolic action with no explanation of what it means. The UDB often presents the meaning expressed by the symbolic action as well.
When you translate, you should decide whether your audience will correctly understand a symbolic action. If your audience will not understand, then you should do as the UDB does. (see [Symbolic Action](../translate-symaction/01.md))

>The high priest <u>tore his garments</u> ... (Mark 14:63 ULB)
>In response to Jesus' words, the high priest <u>was so shocked</u> that he tore his outer garment. (Mark 14:63 UDB)
><u>In response to Jesus' words,</u> the high priest <u>was so shocked that he</u> tore his outer garment. (Mark 14:63 UDB)
Here the UDB makes it clear that it was not by accident that the high priest tore his garment. It also makes clear that it was probably only his outer garment that he tore, and that he did so because he wanted to show that he was sad or angry or both.
Because the high priest actually tore his garment, the UDB must, of course, say that he did. However, if a symbolic action never actually took place, you do not have to state that action. Here is such an example:
>Present that to your governor; will he accept you or will he <u>lift up your face</u>?" (Malachi 1:8 ULB)
>Present that to your governor! Will he accept you or will he <u>lift up your face</u>?" (Malachi 1:8 ULB)
>You would not dare to offer such gifts to your own governor! You know that he would not take them. You know that he would be <u>displeased with you and would not welcome you</u>! (Malachi 1:8 UDB)
>You would not dare to offer such gifts to your own governor! You know that he would not take them. You know that he <u>would be displeased with you and would not welcome you</u>! (Malachi 1:8 UDB)
Here the symbolic action "lift up someone's face," represented in this way in the ULB, is presented only as its meaning in the UDB: "he would be displeased with you and would not welcome you." It can be presented in this way because Malachi is not actually referring to a particular event that actually took place. He is only referring to the idea represented by that event.

>But many people heard about how Jesus had healed the man. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear him teach and <u>to have him heal them</u> from their sicknesses. (Luke 5:15 UDB)
Here the UDB avoids the ULB's passive verb form "to be healed." It does this by restructuring the phrase. It says who the healer is: "to have him [Jesus] heal them."

>Christ has given you so many things. He helped you <u>in all your speaking</u> and in <u>all your knowledge</u>. (1 Corinthians 1:5 UDB)
Here the ULB expressions "all speech" and "all knowledge" are abstract noun expressions. One problem with them is that readers might not know who is supposed to do the speaking and what they are to speak, or who is doing the knowing and what it is that they know. The UDB answers these questions.

><sup>4-5</sup>Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that he is giving to you. If you obey Yahweh our God and obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today, there will not be any poor people among you. (Deuteronomy 15:4-5 UDB)
There are also a few verse bridges in the ULB.
><sup>17-18</sup>Ezrah's sons were Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. Mered's Egyptian wife bore Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah, who became the father of Eshtemoa. <u>These were the sons of Bithiah, daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married.</u> Mered's Jewish wife bore Jered, who became the father of Gedor; Heber, who became the father of Soco; and Jekuthiel, who became the father of Zanoah. (1 Chronicles 4:17-18 ULB)
The ULB moved the underlined sentence from verse 18 to verse 17 to more clearly show which were the sons of Bithiah.
Here is the original order, which is confusing to many readers:
>17 The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. She conceived and bore Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah father of Eshtemoa. 18 And his Judahite wife bore Jered father of Gedor, Heber father of Soco, and Jekuthiel father of Zanoah. These were the sons of Bithiah daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married. (1 Chronicles 4:17-18 TNK)
### Translation Strategies
Order the information in a way that will be clear to your readers.
1. If you put information from one verse before information from an earlier verse, put a hyphen between the two verse numbers.
1. If the ULB has a verse bridge, but another Bible you refer to does not have one, you can choose the order that works best for your language.
