OET interlinear 2TIM 1:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δι’ ἣν αἰτίαν

for which cause

Here, the phrase which reason refers back to the fact that Paul was appointed to be a herald, apostle, and teacher (see 1:11). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “because of which appointment” or “and so”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ταῦτα πάσχω

also these_‹things› ˱I˲_/am/_suffering

Here Paul does not mention the specific things that he is suffering, but from the context of the letter, Timothy would have known that he was referring to suffering as a prisoner (see 2:9). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “I also suffer as a prisoner” or “I also suffer while I am in jail”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐκ ἐπαισχύνομαι

not ˱I˲_/am/_being_ashamed

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 would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be the things that Paul is suffering. Alternate translation: “that does not shame me”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

ᾧ

˱in˲_whom

The pronoun whom could refer: (1) to God generally. Alternate translation: “God, in whom” (2) to Jesus specifically. Alternate translation: “Jesus, in whom”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πέπεισμαι

˱I˲_/have_been/_persuaded

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. Alternate translation: “I am confident” or “I know”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν παραθήκην μου φυλάξαι

the deposit ˱of˲_me /to/_guard

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe a deposit that could be: (1) something that Paul has entrusted to God. Alternate translation: “to guard the deposit from me” (2) something that God has entrusted to Paul. Alternate translation: “to guard the deposit given to me”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν παραθήκην μου φυλάξαι

the deposit ˱of˲_me /to/_guard

Here Paul speaks as if God were guarding a deposit of money or goods. He means that God will protect or preserve the deposit. What the deposit represents depends on what you chose in the previous note about who gave the deposit to whom. If the deposit: (1) was given by Paul to God, then it could represent Paul himself, the rewards he will receive, or his resurrection life. Alternate translation: “to protect my true life” or “to preserve me” (2) was given by God to Paul, then it could represent the gospel or Paul’s ministry. Alternate translation: “to protect the gospel given to me” or “to preserve my ministry”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκείνην τὴν ἡμέραν

that ¬the day

Here Paul is referring to the exact moment when Jesus will return to this world, which will also be the end of the current time period. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “that day when Jesus will return” or “Jesus’ second coming”
