UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τοιγαροῦν

so_then

Here, the word Therefore introduces an inference or conclusion from what Paul has said in 4:3–7. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use another word that introduces an inference or conclusion. Alternate translation: “Because of all that” or “In conclusion”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ὁ ἀθετῶν

the_‹one› rejecting_‹this›

Here, the word this refers back to what Paul has commanded the Thessalonians about living holy lives and avoiding sexual immorality. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the one rejecting these commands about sexual morality” or “the one rejecting what we have said about sexual behavior”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

οὐκ ἄνθρωπον ἀθετεῖ, ἀλλὰ τὸν Θεὸν, τὸν διδόντα

not /a/_human /is/_rejecting but ¬the God the_‹one› giving

If your language would not naturally put the negative statement before the positive statement, you could reverse the two elements here. Alternate translation: “rejects God, not man, and God is the one who gives”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἄνθρωπον

/a/_human

Although the term man is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “a person” or “a man or woman”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

τὸν διδόντα

¬the the_‹one› giving

Here Paul is adding more information about God. He is not distinguishing between different gods. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that clearly adds information instead of distinguishing between people. Alternate translation: “who is the one who gives”

Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants

τὸν διδόντα

¬the the_‹one› giving

Many ancient manuscripts read the one giving. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “the one having given.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 7 topic: translate-textvariants

ὑμᾶς

you_all

Many ancient manuscripts read you. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “us.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
