OET (OET-RV) But they won’t be advancing in the faith because their foolishness will eventually become evident to everyone, just as happened with Jannes and Jambres.

Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

ULT But they will not advance unto more, for their foolishness will be obvious to all, as also that of those became.

UST So although they have been able to teach wrong things to some people, they will not continue to succeed, because most others will clearly perceive that these men understand nothing.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀλλ’

but

Here, the word But introduces what will happen to these false teachers in contrast to what they are trying to do, which is to oppose the truth (see 3:8) If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: “Despite that,” or “Although they try to oppose the truth”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ πλεῖον

not ˱they˲_/will_be/_progressing to more

Here Paul speaks of people having success in teaching as if they were advancing further in a direction. He means that these people will cease to have success in teaching. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they will not be able to teach even more people” or “they will not succeed in continuing to teach”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ & ἄνοια αὐτῶν

the & folly ˱of˲_them

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of foolishness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “how foolish they are”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πᾶσιν

˱to˲_all

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

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶσιν

˱to˲_all

Paul says all here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “to most”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἡ ἐκείνων

the the_‹folly› ˱of˲_those

Paul is using the adjective that as a noun to mean foolishness. He is using the adjective those to refer to Jannes and Jambres, Pharaoh’s magicians. Your language may use adjectives in these same ways. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “the foolishness of Jannes and Jambres”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐγένετο

became

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “became obvious”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγένετο

became

Here Paul is referring to how Pharaoh’s magicians failed to oppose Moses. They could not copy some of the miracles that Moses did (see Exodus 8:18–19), and they were affected by other miracles that Moses did (see Exodus 9:11). In that way, everyone realized that they were foolish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make some of that information more explicit or include the information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “became when they failed to stop Moses”
