UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, For introduces further reasons why what Paul has argued about “covering heads” is true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could leave For untranslated or use a word or phrase that introduces further reasons. Alternate translation: “Here are more reasons why”

οὐκ ὀφείλει

not ought

This could indicate that the man: (1) should not cover his head. Alternate translation: “must not” (2) is not required to cover his head, but he can do what he wants to do. Alternate translation: “is under no obligation”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατακαλύπτεσθαι τὴν κεφαλήν

/to_be/_covering his head

Here, to cover his head refers to using a piece of clothing that would be worn on the top and back of the head. The phrase does not refer to hair or to some piece of clothing that obscures the face. Paul does not clarify, however, what kind of clothing this might be. If possible, use a general phrase that could refer to clothing. Alternate translation: “have a covering on his head”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὑπάρχων

being

Here, being introduces a clause that gives a reason or basis for what he has already said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this connection with a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis. Alternate translation: “since he is”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰκὼν καὶ δόξα Θεοῦ

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ἡ γυνὴ & δόξα ἀνδρός ἐστιν

the woman & /the/_glory ˱of˲_man is

Paul is speaking of “women” and “men” in general, not of one particular woman and man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form with a form that refers to people in general. Alternate translation: “each woman is the glory of her man” or “women are the glory of men”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δόξα ἀνδρός

glory /the/_glory ˱of˲_man
