UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὡς κατακυριεύοντες

as exercising_lordship

Here Peter uses lording it over to refer to acting toward people in a harsh and controlling manner, as if someone were a harsh master who abuses his servants. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “harshly controlling” or “acting like harsh masters over”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῶν κλήρων

˱over˲_the allotments

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of portion, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “those who are assigned to you” or “those whom God has apportioned to you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τύποι γινόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου

examples becoming ˱to˲_the flock

Peter is using the possessive form to describe examples that are for the flock. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “being examples for the flock”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῦ ποιμνίου

˱to˲_the flock

See how you translated flock in the previous verse.
