OET interlinear 1 TIM 2:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: διδάσκειν Δέ γυναικί οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω οὐδέ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός ἀλλʼ εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ)

Here, the word But introduces a development of what Paul wrote in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of development, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Even more,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

γυναικὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: διδάσκειν Δέ γυναικί οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω οὐδέ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός ἀλλʼ εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ)

The word woman represents Christian women in general, not one particular woman. See how you expressed the idea in [2:11](../02/11.md). Alternate translation: [believing women] or [female Christians]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γυναικὶ & ἀνδρός

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: διδάσκειν Δέ γυναικί οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω οὐδέ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός ἀλλʼ εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ)

Here, just as in [2:11](../02/11.md), the word translated woman could refer: (1) generally to any female believer. In this case, the word man refers generally to any male believer. Alternate translation: [women who believe … men who believe] (2) specifically to any woman who is married. This is indicated by the switch from the plural “women” in [2:9–10](../02/09.md) to the singular “woman” in [2:11](../02/11.md) and here. In this case, the word man refers to the wife’s husband. Alternate translation: [a wife … her husband] or [wives … their husbands]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διδάσκειν

˓to_be˒_teaching

Here Paul could be implying that women are not permitted to teach: (1) men. Alternate translation: [to teach a man] (2) anyone during a public meeting of believers. Alternate translation: [to teach anyone when believers gather together to worship]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αὐθεντεῖν

˓to_be˒_domineering

Here, the word translated to have authority over could refer to: (1) any kind of rule or leadership. Alternate translation: [to be an authority over] or [to lead] (2) dominating or exercising abusive authority. Alternate translation: [to dominate] or [to control]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλ’ εἶναι

but to_be

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [I require her to be]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ

to_be in quietness

Here, just as in [2:11](../02/11.md), the word translated quietness could describe: (1) being unobtrusive and peaceful. Paul used a similar word (“quiet”) in [2:2](../02/02.md), where it described a life that is calm and peaceful. Alternate translation: [to avoid interrupting] or [to be in peace] (2) not speaking. Alternate translation: [to be in silence] or [to avoid speaking]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ

in quietness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of quietness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [quiet]
