OET interlinear 2TIM 1:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

φανερωθεῖσαν δὲ νῦν

/having_been/_revealed but now

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, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “which now God has revealed” or “which now God has allowed people to know”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τῆς ἐπιφανείας τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ

by the appearing ˱of˲_the Savior ˱of˲_us Christ Jesus

Here, the word appearance refers to when Jesus became a human being, lived on earth, died, and rose again. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “through how our Savior Christ Jesus became a man and lived, died, and rose again” or “through the incarnation of our Savior Christ Jesus”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

καταργήσαντος μὲν τὸν θάνατον

/having/_nullified on_one_hand ¬the death

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “both having enabled dead people to be dead no longer”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

φωτίσαντος δὲ ζωὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου

/having/_illuminated on_the_other_hand life and indestructibility through the gospel

Here Paul speaks as if Jesus used the gospel to shine a light on life and immortality. He means that, by using the gospel, Jesus revealed how people can have life and immortality. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and having taught us about life and immortality through the gospel” or “and having revealed life and immortality through the gospel”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ζωὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν

life and indestructibility

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of life and immortality, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “being able to live and be immortal”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ζωὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν

life and indestructibility

The two words life and immortality express a single idea. The word immortality describes what kind of life Paul is speaking about. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: “immortal life”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ζωὴν

life

Here Paul is referring to new, eternal life with God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “eternal life” or “new life with God”
