Religion / Christian
English term or phrase: caveat of emptiness
El contexto habla de los diez leprosos que fueron sanados, de los cuales solo uno volvió a darle las gracias a Jesús.
But unless they found their way to Jesus at a later time ─in an event not recorded in the biblical accounts─ they were left to enjoy their new life with at least this one **caveat of emptiness**: They may have come close to having every restored to them, but they had not come close to Jesus.

Explanation:
No me convence la traducción literal en este caso. Yo haría una traducción libre de este estilo: "pero, a no ser que se volvieran hacia Jesús más adelante... sus nuevas vidas debieron de estar marcadas/ensombrecidas al menos por esta gran carencia:"

Asker: Gracias Beatriz. Sí, creo que debo hacer una adaptación de este estilo.

Asker: Sí, Beatriz. A mí tampoco me convence una traducción literal. Así que haré una traducción libre que dé a entender el vacío de su corazón. Gracias.
