UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces a new section. Paul is again speaking about Titus, whom he last mentioned in 8:6. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a new section, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Now” or “Next,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

χάρις & τῷ Θεῷ

thankfulness_‹be› & ¬the ˱to˲_God

Here, thanks be to God is an exclamatory phrase that communicates Paul’s thankfulness. Use an exclamation form that is natural in your language for communicating thanks. Alternate translation: “we give thanks to God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

τῷ διδόντι

¬the the_‹one› giving

Here Paul is adding more information about God. He is not distinguishing between different gods. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that clearly adds information instead of distinguishing between people. Alternate translation: “who has placed”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῷ διδόντι τὴν αὐτὴν σπουδὴν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ Τίτου

¬the the_‹one› giving the same earnestness for you_all in the heart ˱of˲_Titus

Here, Paul is speaking as if earnestness were an object that God could put into the heart of Titus. He means that God made the heart of Titus earnest. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the one making the same earnestness on your behalf characterize the heart of Titus”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν αὐτὴν σπουδὴν

the same earnestness

Here, the word same indicates that the earnestness that Titus has is the same earnestness that Paul and his fellow workers have. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: “the same earnestness that we have”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διδόντι τὴν αὐτὴν σπουδὴν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ Τίτου

giving the same earnestness for you_all in the heart ˱of˲_Titus

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of earnestnest, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “making the heart of Titus earnest on your behalf”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῇ καρδίᾳ Τίτου

the heart ˱of˲_Titus

In Paul’s culture, the heart is the place where humans think and feel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea by referring to the place where humans think and feel in your culture or by using plain language. Alternate translation: “the mind of Titus” or “what Titus wants”
