UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

περιέχει ἐν Γραφῇ

˱it˲_/is/_contained in ˱in˲_Scripture

Here the quotation of scripture that occurs next in the verse is spoken of as if it were a person who stands. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it is written in scripture”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

περιέχει ἐν Γραφῇ

˱it˲_/is/_contained in ˱in˲_Scripture

This phrase introduces a quotation of an Old Testament book (Isaiah 28:16). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Peter is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “what Isaiah wrote in scripture stands”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

ἰδοὺ, τίθημι ἐν Σιὼν λίθον, ἀκρογωνιαῖον ἐκλεκτὸν ἔντιμον; καὶ ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ, οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ.

behold ˱I˲_/am/_laying in Zion /a/_stone /a/_cornerstone chosen honored and the_‹one› believing in him by_no_means not /may_be/_disgraced

This sentence is a quotation from Isaiah 28:16. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

behold

Peter quotes Isaiah using Behold to call his readers to pay attention to what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τίθημι

˱I˲_/am/_laying

In this quotation from the Old Testament, I refers to God. If this is confusing in your language, you can express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “I, God, lay”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

λίθον, ἀκρογωνιαῖον

/a/_stone /a/_cornerstone

Here God refers to the Messiah as if he were not only a stone, but even the most important stone in a building, the cornerstone. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a simile or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “someone who is like the most important stone in a building”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

λίθον, ἀκρογωνιαῖον ἐκλεκτὸν ἔντιμον

/a/_stone /a/_cornerstone chosen honored

Here, chosen and precious show a distinction between this cornerstone and any other cornerstone. If this is not understood in your language, you could make the relationship between these phrases more clear. Alternate translation: “a cornerstone that is chosen and precious”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

The phrase certainly not translates two negative words in Greek. God uses them together to emphasize the truth of this statement. If your language can use two negatives together for emphasis without them cancelling each other to create a positive meaning, it would be appropriate to use that construction here.
