UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑστερηθεὶς

/having_been/_deficient

Here Paul implies that he lacked or did not have enough of what he needed to live, including things like food and clothes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having lacked what is necessary for life” or “having lacked basic necessities”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ κατενάρκησα

not ˱I˲_burdened

Here Paul speaks of asking for money as if it were a heavy burden that he would have asked the Corinthians to carry for him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or plain language. Alternate translation: “I did not trouble” or “I did not ask for money and so harass”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

οἱ ἀδελφοὶ

the brothers

Although the term brothers is masculine, Paul may not only be referring to men. It is possible that he is referring only to men, but he may also include women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “the siblings” or “the brothers and sisters”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οἱ ἀδελφοὶ

the brothers

Paul is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the believers”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀβαρῆ ἐμαυτὸν ὑμῖν ἐτήρησα καὶ τηρήσω

unburdensome myself ˱to˲_you_all ˱I˲_kept and ˱I˲_/will_be/_keeping

Here, just as at the beginning of the verse, the burden refers to asking for money. Express the idea as you did at the beginning of the verse. Alternate translation: “I did not and will continue not to trouble you” or “I did not and will continue not to ask for money and so harass you”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐτήρησα καὶ τηρήσω

˱I˲_kept and ˱I˲_/will_be/_keeping

Here Paul is indicating that he was not a burden to them when he visited them in the past, and he promises that he will never be a burden to them in the future. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that expresses this idea clearly. Alternate translation: “I have kept and will always keep” or “in the past I kept and in the future will keep”
