Ille prædicit labores usque in finem venturos sæculo: tu prospera. Ille ad confortandum cor tuum, venit pati, mori, sputis illiniri, spinis coronari, opprobria ferre, fel et acetum bibere, ligno configi. Omnia hæc ille tulit pro te. Ille confortans infirmum, ut cum crediderit, non speret prospera hujus sæculi; unde: Fili, accedens ad servitutem Dei, sta in justitia et timore, et præpara animam tuam ad tentationes.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces what happens to evil men and impostors in contrast with what happens to people who want to live in godly ways. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “However,” or “In contrast,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἄνθρωποι

people

Although the term men is masculine, Jesus 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: “men and women”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

πονηροὶ & ἄνθρωποι καὶ γόητες

evil & people and swindlers

Here, the phrase evil men and impostors could: (1) refer to two different groups of people. Alternate translation: “men who are evil and men who are impostors” (2) describe one group of people using two terms connected with and. Alternate translation: “evil people who are impostors” or “evil impostors”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖρον

/will_be/_progressing to the worse

Here Paul speaks of these people as if they could physically advance or progress in a certain direction, and he speaks of the worse as that direction. He means that these people become worse and worse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will grow worse and worse” or “will be characterized by being increasingly worse”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖρον

to the worse

Paul is using the adjective worse as a noun to mean behavior and character that is worse. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “to worse behavior” or “to worse character”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πλανῶντες καὶ πλανώμενοι

deceiving and /being/_strayed

Here Paul speaks as if the evil men and impostors could literally lead people astray and be led astray. He means that they will deceive others and be deceived themselves. If it would be helpful for your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “causing people to believe what is wrong and themselves believing what is wrong”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πλανώμενοι

/being/_strayed

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: “others leading them astray”
