UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

διὰ τοῦτο

because_of this

Here, the word this refers to what Paul said in the previous verse about what Timothy reported about the Thessalonians’ faith, love, and good memory of Paul and his fellow workers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Because of this good news” or “Because of what Timothy told us”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

παρεκλήθημεν

˱we˲_/were/_comforted

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “we felt encouragement” or “God encouraged us”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐφ’ ὑμῖν

by you_all

Here, the phrase translated about you could identify: (1) what Paul and his fellow workers are encouraged about. Alternate translation: “concerning you” (2) the reason why Paul and his fellow workers are encouraged. Alternate translation: “because of you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ ἀνάγκῃ καὶ θλίψει ἡμῶν

in all the hardship and tribulation ˱of˲_us

The terms distress and affliction mean similar things. Paul is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “in all our affliction” or “in all our troubles”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ ἀνάγκῃ καὶ θλίψει ἡμῶν, διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν πίστεως

in all the hardship and tribulation ˱of˲_us through the ˱of˲_you_all faith

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of distress, affliction, and faith, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “whenever we were distressed and afflicted, through how you believe”
