UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἣν

which

The pronoun which refers to “appearance” in the previous verse. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to it more directly. Alternate translation: “which appearance”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

καιροῖς ἰδίοις

˱in˲_seasons /his/_own

Here, the phrase translated in its own times indicates that Jesus’ appearance will happen at an appropriate time or period of time. See how you translated this expression in 2:6. More specifically, the times could be appropriate because: (1) they fit with Jesus’ appearance. Alternate translation: “at the times appropriate to it” or “during the time appropriate to it” (2) God chose them. Alternate translation: “at the times that he chose” or “during the time that he chose”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ μακάριος καὶ μόνος Δυνάστης

the blessed and only Sovereign

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 does the action, it is clear from the context that it is believers. Alternate translation: “the only Sovereign whom believers bless”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μόνος Δυνάστης

only Sovereign

Here Paul means that God is the only Sovereign over whom no one else rules. He does not mean that no one else rules. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “most powerful Sovereign” or “highest Sovereign”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλευόντων, καὶ Κύριος τῶν κυριευόντων

the the King ˱of˲_the_‹ones› reigning and /the/_Lord ˱of˲_the_‹ones› lording

The phrases King of the ones reigning and Lord of the ones ruling mean similar things. Paul is using the two phrases together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “King and Lord of all kings and lords” or “Ruler of all rulers”
