OET interlinear 1TIM 1:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἔχων πίστιν καὶ

holding faith and

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “believing and having”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀγαθὴν συνείδησιν

/a/_good conscience

A conscience that is good is one that does not convict a person of doing anything wrong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this phrase in 1:5. Alternate translation: “a clean conscience” or “a conscience that is not guilty”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ἥν

which

Here, the pronoun which could refer: (1) just to good conscience. Alternate translation: “which conscience” (2) to both good conscience and faith. Alternate translation: “both of which”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τινες

some

Paul is using the adjective some as a noun to mean some people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “some men and women”

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἐναυάγησαν

concerning their faith ˱they˲_suffered_shipwreck

Here Paul refers to how ships that sailed on the ocean could break apart or sink. When this happened, people had to try to survive in the water or swim to shore. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to this kind of event. Alternate translation: “have had their ship sink regarding the faith” or “have had their ship regarding the faith break apart”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἐναυάγησαν

concerning their faith ˱they˲_suffered_shipwreck

Paul speaks of these people and their faith as if they were on a ship that had sunk. He means that these people have lost their faith, just as people in a shipwreck lose the ship and everything on it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “have wrecked regarding their faith” or “have destroyed their faith”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

περὶ τὴν πίστιν

concerning their faith

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “how they once believed”
