UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

γράφω

˱I˲_/am/_writing

Here Paul refers to the writing of this letter from his perspective, which is in the present. However, when Timothy receives the letter, the writing of this letter would be in the past. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use whatever form people would use in your language to refer to the writing of a letter. Alternate translation: “I have written”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτά

these_‹things›

Here, the phrase these things could refer to: (1) everything that Paul has included in the letter. Alternate translation: “everything in this letter” (2) what Paul has written in the letter so far. Alternate translation: “what I have included so far” or “those things”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

ἐλπίζων

hoping

Here, the word hoping introduces something that is unexpected given what Paul has said about writing the letter. Usually, people in Paul’s culture did not write letters to someone if they planned to visit that person soon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces something that is unexpected. Alternate translation: “even though I hope” or “despite the fact that I hope”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθεῖν

/to/_come

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “to go”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τάχει

in quickness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of quickness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “quickly” or “before long”
