uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

ἰσχύϊ καὶ δυνάμει μείζονες ὄντες

˱in˲_strength and power greater being

This clause could refer to: (1) a contrast between the description of the angels in this clause with their behavior in the next clause. Alternate translation: “despite being greater in strength and power” (2) a description of the angels. Alternate translation: “who are greater in strength and power”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἰσχύϊ καὶ δυνάμει μείζονες ὄντες

˱in˲_strength and power greater being

Peter is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from the surrounding context, which is a description of the false teachers. Alternate translation: “being greater in strength and power than these false teachers”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἰσχύϊ καὶ δυνάμει μείζονες ὄντες

˱in˲_strength and power greater being

The words strength and power mean similar things. Peter is using them together for emphasis. Together, the words describe extreme power. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this pair of words with a single expression. Alternate translation: “being much more powerful”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

οὐ φέρουσιν κατ’ αὐτῶν & βλάσφημον κρίσιν

not /are/_bringing against them & /a/_slanderous judgment

Here, them could mean: (1) the “glorious ones.” Alternate translation: “do not bring an insulting judgment against these glorious ones.” (2) the false teachers. Alternate translation: “do not bring an insulting judgment against these false teachers.”
