UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

γυνὴ δὲ ἐὰν κομᾷ, δόξα αὐτῇ ἐστιν?

/a/_woman on_the_other_hand if /may_be/_having_long_hair glory ˱to˲_her ˱it˲_is

This is the second part of the rhetorical question that began in the last verse. Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The question assumes that the answer is “yes, nature does teach this.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong affirmation. If you use the following alternate translation, you should translate the previous verse as a separate affirmation. Alternate translation: [However, if a woman has long hair, it is glory for her.]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

γυνὴ & ἐὰν κομᾷ, δόξα αὐτῇ ἐστιν?

/a/_woman & if /may_be/_having_long_hair glory ˱to˲_her ˱it˲_is

Here Paul uses if to introduce a true possibility. He means that a woman might have long hair, or she might not. He specifies the result for if a woman does have long hair. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form by stating the if statement by introducing it with a word such as “when” or by avoiding the if structure. Alternate translation: [when a woman has long hair, it is glory for her] or [it is glory for a woman to have long hair]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

κομᾷ

/may_be/_having_long_hair

Just as in 11:14, here Paul uses a word that refers to someone letting his or her hair grow long. It is not clear how long the hair must be to count as long hair. Use a word or phrase that refers to what your culture would consider long hair. Alternate translation: [grows her hair out]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δόξα αὐτῇ ἐστιν

glory ˱to˲_her ˱it˲_is

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind glory, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “glorify” or an adjective such as “glorious.” Alternate translation: [it glorifies her] or [it is glorious for her]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὅτι ἡ κόμη & δέδοται αὐτῇ

because the long_hair & /has_been/_given ˱to˲_her

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on the long hair that has been given rather than focusing on the person doing the “giving.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “God” does it. Alternate translation: [God has given her the long hair]

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown

ἡ κόμη

the long_hair

Here Paul uses a word that refers to the long hair itself. It is not clear how long the hair must be to count as long hair. Use a word or phrase that refers to what your culture would consider long hair. Alternate translation: [grown-out hair]

ἀντὶ περιβολαίου

instead_of /a/_covering

This could refer to: (1) how the long hair is equivalent to or functions as a covering. Alternate translation: [to be a covering] (2) how the long hair functions “instead of” or as a replacement of a covering. Alternate translation: [instead of a covering]
