OET interlinear YUD (JUD) 1:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

οὗτοί

these

Here, These refers to the mockers Jude referred to in the previous verse. If it would be helpful for your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “These mockers”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οἱ ἀποδιορίζοντες

the_‹ones› dividing

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun divisions with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [the ones dividing others against each other]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Πνεῦμα

/the/_Spirit

Here, Spirit refers to the Holy Spirit. It does not refer to the spirit of a human or to an evil spirit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “the Holy Spirit”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ψυχικοί

soulish

Jude is using one part of the human being, the soul, as opposed to another part, the spirit, to mean “unspiritual.” The word soulish describes someone who lives according to their natural instincts instead of according to God’s word and Spirit. It is used to refer to people who are not true believers. Alternate translation: [unspiritual] or [worldly]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Πνεῦμα μὴ ἔχοντες

/the/_Spirit not having

The Holy Spirit is spoken of as if he were something that people can possess. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this metaphor plainly. Alternate translation: [the Spirit is not within them]
