UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπομένετε

˱you_all˲_/are/_enduring

Here the context makes it clear that the audience should Endure any suffering or persecution they might experience. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this implication explicit. Alternate translation: “Endure suffering” or “Endure trouble”

εἰς παιδείαν

for discipline

Here, the phrase for discipline could indicate: (1) the purpose for which the audience should Endure. Alternate translation: “so that you are disciplined” or “for the sake of discipline” (2) how they should understand the sufferings that they Endure. Alternate translation: “suffering as discipline” or “suffering, since it is discipline”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς παιδείαν

for discipline

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of discipline, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “discipline” or “train.” Alternate translation: “so that you are disciplined”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡς υἱοῖς ὑμῖν προσφέρεται ὁ Θεός

as ˱with˲_sons ˱with˲_you_all /is_being/_disciplined ¬the God

Here the author is not stating that God is treating them “as if” they were sons, although they are really not. Rather, he means that God is treating them as what they are: sons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it clearer that the audience really are sons. Alternate translation: “God is treating you as the sons that you are” or “God is treating you like this since you are sons”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

υἱοῖς & υἱὸς ὃν οὐ παιδεύει πατήρ

˱with˲_sons & son_‹is› whom not /is/_disciplining /his/_father

Although the words sons, son, and father are masculine, the author of the quotation is using them to refer to any children and parents, whether male or female. He uses the masculine forms because discipline was most commonly given by fathers to sons in his culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words that apply to both men and women or you could refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “sons and daughters … son or daughter is there whom his or her parents do not discipline”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of how “enduring” suffering means that God is treating the audience as sons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a further explanation. Alternate translation: “Indeed,”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς & υἱὸς ὃν οὐ παιδεύει πατήρ?

what & son_‹is› whom not /is/_disciplining /his/_father

The author is using the question form to remind his readers of something he thinks they already know. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate the question with a strong negative or positive statement. Alternate translation: “there is no son whom his father does not discipline!” or “every son is disciplined by his father!”
