UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὐ θαῦμα

no wonder

Here, the phrase no wonder indicates that what Paul just said about people pretending to be apostles should not be surprising. Use a form that expresses this idea clearly. Alternate translation: “that is no surprise” or “we should not be astonished”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

αὐτὸς & ὁ Σατανᾶς

himself & ¬the Satan

Here, the word translated himself emphasizes Satan. Consider using a natural way to emphasize Satan in your language. Alternate translation: “Satan indeed” or “Satan too”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μετασχηματίζεται εἰς ἄγγελον φωτός

/is/_masquerading for /an/_angel ˱of˲_light

See how you translated the similar phrase at the end of 11:13. Alternate translation: “poses as an angel of light” or “acts as if he were an angel of light”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἄγγελον φωτός

/an/_angel ˱of˲_light

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe an angel that is characterized by light. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “a shining angel” or “a bright angel”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἄγγελον φωτός

/an/_angel ˱of˲_light

Here, Paul speaks of the glory and power of an angel as if it were light. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or plain language. Alternate translation: “angel of glory” or “angel of splendor”
