UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

οἶδεν Κύριος

/has/_known /the/_Lord

This verse and the next verse are the end of a conditional sentence that extends from 2:4 to 2:10. Peter is giving the result of the previous conditions being true. If you have made 2:4–10 into separate sentences, then you will need to indicate that 2:9 is the result of the previous conditions being true. Alternate translation: “Therefore, it is true that the Lord knows how” or “Since these things are true, it is also true that the Lord knows how”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ἀδίκους δὲ εἰς ἡμέραν κρίσεως κολαζομένους τηρεῖν

/the/_unrighteous_‹ones› but to /the/_day ˱of˲_judgment /being/_punished /to_be/_keeping

Here, and could refer to: (1) a contrast between the previous clause and what follows, as in the ULT and UST. (2) a simple connection between the previous clause and what follows. Alternate translation: “and to keep the unrighteous ones to be punished in the day of judgment”

temptation & /the/_unrighteous_‹ones› but to /the/_day ˱of˲_judgment /being/_punished /to_be/_keeping

In this clause, Peter is leaving out some words that it would need in many languages in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from the previous clause. Alternate translation: “a trial and the Lord knows how to keep the unrighteous ones to be punished in the day of judgment”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

κολαζομένους

/being/_punished

This is a purpose clause. Peter is stating the purpose for which God is keeping the unrighteous people. Alternate translation (without a comma preceding): “in order to be punished”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀδίκους & κολαζομένους τηρεῖν

/the/_unrighteous_‹ones› & /being/_punished /to_be/_keeping

If your language does not use this passive form, you can express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “to keep the unrighteous ones to punish them”

εἰς ἡμέραν κρίσεως

to /the/_day ˱of˲_judgment

Here, in could refer to: (1) when the unrighteous ones will be punished. Alternate translation: “on the day of judgment” (2) the point in time up to which the unrighteous ones will be punished. Alternate translation: “until the day of judgment”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡμέραν κρίσεως

/the/_day ˱of˲_judgment

Peter is using the possessive form to describe a day that is characterized by judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase to explain it. Alternate translation: “the day when God judges mankind”
