uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events

ἀνανήψωσιν ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος, ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸ ἐκείνου θέλημα

˱they˲_˓may˒_recover_sobriety out_of the ˱of˲_the devil snare ˓having_been˒_caught by him in_order (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἀνανήψωσιν ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τό ἐκείνου θέλημα)

These people must have been captured by the devil before they could become sober again from the trap of the devil. If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses to express the ideas in sequential order. Alternate translation: [having in the past been captured by the devil for the will of that one, they may become sober again from the trap of the devil]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀνανήψωσιν ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος

˱they˲_˓may˒_recover_sobriety out_of the ˱of˲_the devil snare

Here Paul implies that being sober again also means escaping from the trap of the devil. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [they may become sober again and escape from the trap of the devil]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀνανήψωσιν

˱they˲_˓may˒_recover_sobriety

Here Paul speaks of being able to think clearly about what is true as if it were becoming sober again. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they may be able to reason properly again]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος, ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ

out_of the ˱of˲_the devil snare ˓having_been˒_caught by him

Here Paul speaks of how the devil has gained power or control over these people as if he had captured them in a trap. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from what is like a trap of the devil, in which they have been captured like animals by him] or [from the power of the devil, having been dominated by him]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ

˓having_been˒_caught by him

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: [he having captured them]

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸ ἐκείνου θέλημα

by him in_order (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἀνανήψωσιν ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τό ἐκείνου θέλημα)

Here Paul uses the pronoun him and the phrase that one. He could be: (1) using both terms to refer to the devil. Alternate translation: [the devil for the devil’s own will] (2) be using the word him to refer to the devil and the phrase that one to refer to God. In this case, the phrase for the will of that one gives the result of these people becoming sober again. Alternate translation: [the devil, but now they can do the will of God]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς τὸ ἐκείνου θέλημα

in_order (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἀνανήψωσιν ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τό ἐκείνου θέλημα)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of will, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [for what that one desires]
