Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀπειθήσασίν
˱to˲_/having/_disbelieved_‹ones›
Peter is leaving out a word that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply the word from the context. Alternate translation: [having disobeyed God]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἡ τοῦ Θεοῦ μακροθυμία
the ¬the ˱of˲_God patience
Peter uses patience of God to refer to God himself. If your readers would not understand this, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [God himself]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν ἡμέραις Νῶε
in /the/_days ˱of˲_Noah
Here Peter uses days of Noah to refer to the time period when Noah was alive. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in the time of Noah]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
κατασκευαζομένης κιβωτοῦ
/being/_prepared /the/_ark
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [when Noah was constructing an ark]
3:20 Only eight people: That is, Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their wives (Gen 6:18; 8:18).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
