OET interlinear 2 PET 3:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καινοὺς & οὐρανοὺς καὶ γῆν καινὴν, κατὰ τὸ ἐπάγγελμα αὐτοῦ προσδοκῶμεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καινούς Δέ οὐρανούς καί γῆν καινήν κατά τό ἐπάγγελμα αὐτοῦ προσδοκῶμεν ἐν οἷς δικαιοσύνη κατοικεῖ)

Peter put the direct object of the main verb at the front of this sentence for emphasis. If your language uses a similar construction for emphasis, it would be appropriate to have it here in your translation. But if this construction would be confusing in your language, you could express this emphasis in another way and change the structure of the sentence. Alternate translation: [according to his promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

κατὰ τὸ ἐπάγγελμα αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καινούς Δέ οὐρανούς καί γῆν καινήν κατά τό ἐπάγγελμα αὐτοῦ προσδοκῶμεν ἐν οἷς δικαιοσύνη κατοικεῖ)

Here, the pronoun his could refer to: (1) God. Alternate translation: [according to God’s promise]; (2) Jesus. Alternate translation: [according to Jesus’ promise]

τὸ ἐπάγγελμα αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καινούς Δέ οὐρανούς καί γῆν καινήν κατά τό ἐπάγγελμα αὐτοῦ προσδοκῶμεν ἐν οἷς δικαιοσύνη κατοικεῖ)

Here, promise could refer to: (1) God’s promise to create a new heavens and earth, as promised in Isaiah 65:17 and Isaiah 66:22. Alternate translation: [his promise of new heavens and a new earth]; (2) the promise of Jesus’ second coming, as in 3:4. Alternate translation: [his promise of the return of Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐν οἷς δικαιοσύνη κατοικεῖ

in which righteousness ˓is˒_dwelling

Here, righteousness is spoken of as though it were a person who could dwell somewhere. If this might be confusing for your readers, you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in which righteousness exists]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν οἷς δικαιοσύνη κατοικεῖ

in which righteousness ˓is˒_dwelling

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract noun righteousness by translating the idea behind it with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [in which everyone is righteous] or [in which everyone does what is right]
