UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness

τῷ Κυρίῳ

˱for˲_the Lord

Paul is referring to Jesus by a respectful title. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: “the Lord Jesus”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης

with all humility

Paul says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “with great humility”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης

with all humility

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of humility, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “very humbly”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

δακρύων

tears

Paul is referring to strong emotion by association with the way a person who feels things deeply sheds tears of sadness or joy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “deep emotion” or “genuine feeling”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ πειρασμῶν, τῶν συμβάντων μοι

and and trials ¬which /having/_happened ˱to˲_me

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and how I endured the trials that happened to me”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τῶν Ἰουδαίων

¬which ˱of˲_the Jews

Paul is using the name of a whole group, the Jews, to refer to some members of that group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “of certain Jews”
