Note 1 topic: translate-names
Ὑμέναιος & Ἀλέξανδρος
Hymeneus & Alexander
The words Hymenaeus and Alexander are the names of two men.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
παρέδωκα τῷ Σατανᾷ
˱I˲_gave_over ¬the ˱to˲_Satan
To give someone over to someone else refers to transferring a person from one authority to another. Here, then, Paul says that he has transferred these two men from under the authority of the church to under the authority of Satan. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have turned over to Satan” or “I have put under Satan’s authority”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
παιδευθῶσι μὴ βλασφημεῖν
˱they˲_/may_be/_disciplined not /to_be/_slandering
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could indicate that it was their punishment. Alternate translation: “they might realize that they should not blaspheme” or “this punishment may teach them not to blaspheme”
1:20 Hymenaeus and Alexander might have been elders in Ephesus (see also 2 Tim 2:17; 4:14; cp. Acts 19:33; 20:29-31).
• Paul handed them over to Satan by removing them from the church, the realm of the Spirit’s oversight (see also 2 Tim 2:25-26; Job 2:6; Matt 18:17-20; 1 Cor 5:2-5; 2 Cor 2:5-11).
• blaspheme God: They attacked and defamed the true Good News, and thus God himself (see 1 Tim 1:13; cp. 6:1; Titus 2:5; 2 Pet 2:2).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
