UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Peter uses the word Therefore to introduce the logical result of what he has just said. Alternate translation: [We can therefore conclude that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προφήτης & ὑπάρχων, καὶ εἰδὼς

˓a˒_prophet & being and ˓having˒_known

Peter is still speaking about David. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [because David was a prophet and he knew]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ, καθίσαι ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ

of ˓the˒_fruit ˱of˲_the loin ˱of˲_him ˓to˒_sit_down on the throne ˱of˲_him

Peter is using the word loins to represent David himself by association with the way the reproductive organs are in the loins. He is using the word fruit in a broad sense to mean what someone or something produces, in this case a descendant. Alternate translation: [to set one of his descendants upon his throne]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ, καθίσαι ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ

of ˓the˒_fruit ˱of˲_the loin ˱of˲_him ˓to˒_sit_down on the throne ˱of˲_him

When Peter says that God promised to set one of David’s descendants upon his throne, he is using that one action to represent God’s promise to David that this descendant would succeed him as king. Alternate translation: [to make one of his descendants succeed him as king]
