UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, For introduces what Paul says about the Israelites in 10:1–5. What Paul says in these verses explains what he said in the previous verse about how he and other believers should work hard not to be “disqualified” (9:27). The Israelites whom God took out of Egypt were “disqualified,” and believers should work not to be like them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express For with a word or phrase that introduces an example or support. Alternate translation: “Here is an example:”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐ θέλω & ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν

not ˱I˲_/am/_wanting & you_all /to_be/_not_knowing

Here Paul uses a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that means the opposite of the intended meaning. If this is confusing in your language, you can express the meaning positively. Alternate translation: “I want you to know”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφοί & οἱ πατέρες

brothers & the fathers

Although the words brothers and fathers are masculine, Paul is using them to refer to both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express brothers and fathers with non gendered words or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “brothers and sisters … fathers and mothers”

Note 4 topic: translate-kinship

οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν

the fathers ˱of˲_us

Here, our fathers refers to the Israelites who were slaves in Egypt and whom God rescued. Not all the Corinthians were descended from these Israelites. However, Paul can still refer to the Israelites as their fathers because he believes that all Christians have been included in the family of Abraham, the ancestor of the Israelites. Preserve the family language in your translation. Alternate translation: “our forefathers”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντες ὑπὸ τὴν νεφέλην ἦσαν, καὶ πάντες διὰ τῆς θαλάσσης διῆλθον

all under the cloud were and all through the sea passed_through

In this verse, Paul refers to the story of when God brought the Israelites out of Egypt. For this story, see especially Exodus 13:17–14:31. God appeared to the Israelites as a pillar of cloud and fire, and he led them and protected them with this pillar of cloud and fire. To get out of Egypt, God led them to a sea called the “Red Sea” or the “Sea of Reeds.” When the king of Egypt came to take the Israelites back to Egypt, God worked through Moses to divide the water of the sea and make a path for the Israelites to travel through. When the king of Egypt tried to follow them, God sent the water back, and the Egyptian army drowned. Paul draws special attention to the cloud and the sea because of what he will say in the next verse. If your readers are not familiar with this story, you could add a footnote that refers to or summarizes the story.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / go

διὰ & διῆλθον

through & passed_through

Here Paul is speaking about how God parted a sea and the Israelites passed through that sea without getting wet. Use a word or phrase that refers to going through an area to get to the other side. Alternate translation: “went through”
