UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

καὶ

and

Here, and indicates the beginning of the second condition in a conditional sentence that extends from 2:4 to 2:10. Peter is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Peter is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “Since”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀρχαίου κόσμου οὐκ ἐφείσατο

˱from˲_/the/_ancient world not ˱he˲_spared

Here, world refers to the people who lived in it. Alternate translation: “he did not spare the people who lived in the ancient times”

οὐκ ἐφείσατο

not ˱he˲_spared

As in 2:4, the word spare here means “to refrain from punishing.” Alternate translation: “did not refrain from punishing”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

οὐκ ἐφείσατο

not ˱he˲_spared

Here, he refers to God. If it would be helpful for your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: “God did not spare”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὄγδοον, Νῶε

/the/_eighth Noah

Here, eighth is an idiom used to refer to a group of eight people. It means that Noah was one of only eight people in the ancient world whom God did not destroy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the literal meaning of the idiom. Alternate translation: “eight people, including Noah” or “with seven others, Noah”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

Νῶε, δικαιοσύνης κήρυκα

Noah ˱of˲_righteousness /a/_proclaimer

This phrase gives us more information about Noah. It tells us that Noah proclaimed righteousness to the ungodly people of the ancient world. It does not distinguish this Noah from any other person named Noah.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δικαιοσύνης κήρυκα

˱of˲_righteousness /a/_proclaimer

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun righteousness with an equivalent expression. In this context, the term refers righteous deeds. Alternate translation: “a preacher of righteous deeds” or “a preacher of how to act rightly”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

δικαιοσύνης κήρυκα

˱of˲_righteousness /a/_proclaimer

Peter could be using the possessive form to refer to: (1) a preacher who is characterized by righteousness. Alternate translation: “a preacher who is righteous” (2) a preacher who tells others to live righteously. Alternate translation: “one who urged others to live righteously”

κατακλυσμὸν κόσμῳ ἀσεβῶν ἐπάξας

/the/_flood ˱upon˲_/the/_world ˱of˲_/the/_ungodly /having/_brought_upon

This clause indicates when God protected Noah and his other seven family members, when he brought a flood upon the world, as it is translated in the UST.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

κόσμῳ ἀσεβῶν

˱upon˲_/the/_world ˱of˲_/the/_ungodly

Peter could be using the possessive form to refer to: (1) the human content of the ancient world. Alternate translation: “the world that contained ungodly people” (2) the world as being characterized by ungodliness. Alternate translation: “the ungodly world”
