UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰ παθητὸς ὁ Χριστός; εἰ πρῶτος ἐξ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν, φῶς μέλλει καταγγέλλειν

if suffering the Messiah if first by resurrection ˱from˲_/the/_dead light /is/_going /to_be/_proclaiming

Paul could be saying that this is what Moses and the prophets said about the Messiah. You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “They addressed the question as to whether the Christ would be a sufferer, as to whether he, the first from the resurrection of the dead, was going to proclaim” or see next note for another possibility.

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ παθητὸς ὁ Χριστός; εἰ πρῶτος ἐξ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν, φῶς μέλλει καταγγέλλειν

if suffering the Messiah if first by resurrection ˱from˲_/the/_dead light /is/_going /to_be/_proclaiming

Paul could be speaking as if what he is saying is a hypothetical possibility even though he believes that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if the speaker believes that it is true, then you can translate these words as an affirmative statement. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Now since the Christ was a sufferer, since he was the first from the resurrection of the dead, then he was going to proclaim light”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πρῶτος ἐξ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν

first by resurrection ˱from˲_/the/_dead

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of resurrection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the first person whom God made alive again after he died”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

νεκρῶν

˱from˲_/the/_dead

Paul is using the adjective dead as a noun to mean people who have died. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “of people who have died”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

φῶς μέλλει καταγγέλλειν

light /is/_going /to_be/_proclaiming

Paul is saying that the truth that Jesus proclaimed about God was like a light that allowed people to see. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “was going to proclaim the truth about God”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ & λαῷ

¬the & ˱to˲_/the/_people

By the people, Paul means specifically the Jewish people. Alternate translation: “to the Jewish people”
