uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, these things refers back to what Paul has said about the Israelites in 10:7–10. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these things to clarify what the phrase refers to. Alternate translation: “the events that I have mentioned”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

τυπικῶς

typologically

Just as in 10:6, examples here refers to how the stories about the Israelites function as examples or “illustrations” for the believers who hear or read those stories. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express examples with a comparable word or phrase and compare with how you translated “examples” in 10:6. Alternate translation: “as patterns” or “as models”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) δὲ

and

Here, but introduces a further development. It does not contrast with the previous clause. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind butwith a word or phrase that introduces a further development. Alternate translation: “and” or “and then”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγράφη

˱it˲_/was/_written

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on what is written rather than focusing on the person doing the “writing.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “Moses” or “someone” did it. Alternate translation: “a person wrote them” or “Moses wrote them”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πρὸς νουθεσίαν ἡμῶν

for /the/_admonition ˱of˲_us

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind admonition, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “admonish.” Alternate translation: “to admonish us”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς οὓς τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων κατήντηκεν

on whom the ends ˱of˲_the ages /has/_arrived

Here Paul speaks as if the end of the ages could come on somebody. By speaking as if the end of the ages were something that could come, Paul expresses the idea that he and the Corinthians are living during the end of the ages. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “who live during the end of the ages”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς οὓς τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων κατήντηκεν

on whom the ends ˱of˲_the ages /has/_arrived

Here, the end of the ages refers to the last period in the history of the world. It also means that this last period has been the goal of all the previous events. If your language has a way to refer to the last period in the history of the world, you could use it here. If your language has a way to refer to the end of the world, you could express the idea by stating that the end of the world will happen soon. Alternate translation: “to whom the end of the world is coming soon” or “on whom the end times have come”
