OET (OET-LV) For/Because was_ not once _brought by_the_will of_a_human prophecy, but people being_carried by the_ holy _spirit, spoke the_holy from of_god.

OET (OET-RV) or from the ideas of man, but from God speaking via men being guided by the Holy Spirit.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:16–21: Peter assured those to whom he was writing that what they had learned about Jesus Christ was true

Peter assured the believers who would read his letter that the message which they had heard about Jesus Christ was true. He told them two reasons why they could be sure that this message was true: he himself had seen the majesty of Christ at the time of the Transfiguration, and also the OT prophets had spoken about Christ.

Paragraph 1:19–21

The Transfiguration proved that the message about Jesus was true, but that is not all that proved it. The writings of the prophets also confirmed that this was a true message.

1:21a

For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man,

no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man: No prophecy originated from what the prophet himself wanted to say or from what other people wanted him to say.

1:21b

but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit: Instead of merely saying what they wanted to say, the OT prophets said what the Spirit of God moved or drove them to say. Luke used the same word in Acts 27:15 and Acts 27:17 to describe a ship that the wind was driving in a way that the people on the ship could not control. The prophets spoke and wrote “under the control of the Holy Spirit” (GNT).

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὒ Γάρ θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη προφητεία ποτέ ἀλλά ὑπό Πνεύματος Ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ἀπό Θεοῦ ἅγιοι ἄνθρωποι)

For indicates that what follows is the reason that the statement of the previous verse is true. It could mean: (1) the prophets could not prophesy according to their own interpretations, because true prophecy could only come from the Holy Spirit. (2) no one can interpret prophecy without help from the Holy Spirit, because the prophecy came from the Holy Spirit. Alternate translation: [The reason for this is that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐ & θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη προφητεία ποτέ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὒ Γάρ θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη προφητεία ποτέ ἀλλά ὑπό Πνεύματος Ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ἀπό Θεοῦ ἅγιοι ἄνθρωποι)

If your language does not use this passive form, you can express this with an active form, and you can state who did the action. Alternate translation: [no prophet ever prophesied by the will of man] or [the will of man never produced any prophecy]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐ & θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη προφητεία ποτέ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὒ Γάρ θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη προφητεία ποτέ ἀλλά ὑπό Πνεύματος Ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ἀπό Θεοῦ ἅγιοι ἄνθρωποι)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun will with a verbal phrase, such as “what a man desires.” Alternate translation: [no prophecy was ever made according to what a man desires]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

θελήματι ἀνθρώπου

˱by˲_˓the˒_will ˱of˲_˓a˒_human

Peter is using the term man in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [by human desire]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑπὸ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου φερόμενοι, ἐλάλησαν ἀπὸ Θεοῦ ἄνθρωποι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὒ Γάρ θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη προφητεία ποτέ ἀλλά ὑπό Πνεύματος Ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ἀπό Θεοῦ ἅγιοι ἄνθρωποι)

Peter speaks of the Holy Spirit helping the prophets to write what God wanted them to write as if the Holy Spirit carried them from one place to another. Alternate translation: [men spoke from God by the Holy Spirit directing them]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐλάλησαν ἀπὸ Θεοῦ

spoke (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὒ Γάρ θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη προφητεία ποτέ ἀλλά ὑπό Πνεύματος Ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ἀπό Θεοῦ ἅγιοι ἄνθρωποι)

In this phrase, Peter is leaving out a word that it would need in many languages in order to be complete. If this word is required in your language, it can be supplied from earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: [spoke prophecy from God]
