UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν παραθήκην φύλαξον

the deposit guard

Here, the word deposit refers to something that has been entrusted to Timothy and that he must guard. This deposit could be: (1) the gospel, which God entrusted to Timothy. Alternate translation: “guard the deposit of the gospel” or “guard the gospel that God entrusted to you” (2) the instructions Paul has given in this letter. Alternate translation: “guard the deposit of these instructions” or “guard what I have instructed you to do” (3) Timothy’s commission or ministry. Alternate translation: “guard the deposit of your commission” or “guard the ministry that you were given”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰς βεβήλους κενοφωνίας

the profane empty_babblings

Here Paul implies that the sayings are empty of useful or true information. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the profane sayings that have no meaning”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀντιθέσεις τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως

oppositions ˱of˲_the falsely_called knowledge

Here, the word oppositions could refer to: (1) things that false teachers say to contradict and critique the gospel. Alternate translations: “critiques based on falsely-named knowledge” or “opposing statements from falsely-named knowledge” (2) things that the false teachers say that are not consistent. Alternate translation: “self-contradictions found in falsely-named knowledge”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀντιθέσεις τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως

oppositions ˱of˲_the falsely_called knowledge

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of oppositions and knowledge, you could express the same ideas in another way. Make sure that your translation fits with the option you chose in the previous note. Alternate translation: “the things that people falsely claim to be true that they use to oppose the gospel” or “what people use to oppose the gospel that they falsely call wise”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως

˱of˲_the falsely_called knowledge

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, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “of what people falsely name knowledge”
