OET (OET-LV) But if as a_follower_of_the_messiah, not let_him_be_being_ashamed, but let_him_be_glorifying the god in the this name.

OET (OET-RV) but if you suffer for being one of the messiah’s people, then there’s no need to feel ashamed, but instead praise God in that name.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:12–19: Suffering for being a Christian

In this section, Peter reminds his readers that as Christians they should expect to suffer because Christ also suffered. He explained that it is a blessing to be insulted for following Christ. He also reminded them that a time of judgment was coming. Some other headings for this section include:

Suffering as Christ suffered

Your attitude when you suffer

4:16a–b

If a believer suffers because of his faith, he should not be ashamed but make sure that his behavior as a follower of Christ brings honor to God.

4:16a

But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed,

But: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as But introduces a contrast between suffering for doing something bad in 4:15 and suffering for being a Christian. Introduce this contrast in a way that is natural for your language.

if you suffer as a Christian: The phrase if you suffer as a Christian means “if you are punished for being a Christian” or “if you have to endure suffering because you are a Christian.”

as a Christian: People started called the believers Christians because they were followers of Christ (see Acts 11:26).

do not be ashamed: In some languages it may be natural to say of what the believers should not be ashamed. For example:

do not be ashamed of it/that

do not feel disgrace that you received such punishment

4:16b

but glorify God that you bear that name.

but: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as but introduces what the believers should do instead of feeling ashamed. Another way to translate this is:

instead

glorify God that you bear that name: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as glorify God that you bear that name is literally “glorify God by this name.”

glorify: The Greek word that the BSB translates as glorify, that is, “give honor to,” means to bring God glory by the way you live, as in John 21:19 and 1 Corinthians. 6:20.

bear that name: the phrase bear that name refers to being called a “Christian” in 4:16a.

Some other ways to translate this clause are:

Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name! (NLT)

thank God that you bear Christ’s name. (GNT)

Praise God that you belong to him. (CEV)

A literal translation may give the wrong meaning that the believers were calling themselves “Christ.” They were called “Christ-followers” or “Christians” by others. When this term was initially used, it was said as an insult. So you may need to translate this as:

praise God that they/people call you “Christians”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

μὴ αἰσχυνέσθω, δοξαζέτω δὲ τὸν Θεὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰ Δέ ὡς Χριστιανός μή αἰσχυνέσθω δοξαζέτω δέ τόν Θεόν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ)

Peter is addressing his readers indirectly by using the third person. If this might be confusing in your language, you could use the second person, as the previous verse does. See the discussion of this in the introduction for this chapter. Alternate translation: [do not be ashamed, but glorify God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ

in ¬the name this

Here, this name refers to the title “Christian” mentioned earlier in the verse. If this might confuse your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: [because he bears the name “Christian”] or [because people have recognized him as a Christian]

OET (OET-RV) but if you suffer for being one of the messiah’s people, then there’s no need to feel ashamed, but instead praise God in that name.

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.
