UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

θύρα & μοι ἀνέῳγεν μεγάλη καὶ ἐνεργής

/a/_door & ˱to˲_me /has/_opened_up great and active

Paul speaks of his opportunity to preach the gospel in Ephesus as if someone had opened a door for him to enter into a room. He describes this door as wide to indicate that the opportunity is great. He describes the door as effective to indicate that his work is producing results. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express that a wide and effective door that has opened describes a good opportunity that God has provided to preach the gospel with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [I have found a wide and effective window of opportunity] or [God has given me an effective ministry]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

θύρα & ἀνέῳγεν μεγάλη καὶ ἐνεργής

/a/_door & /has/_opened_up great and active

Here Paul speaks as if the door opens itself, but he implies that “God” is the one who has opened the door. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express how the door has opened by clarifying that God opens it. Alternate translation: [God has opened a wide and effective door]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) καὶ

and

Here, and could introduce: (1) another reason why Paul plans on staying in Ephesus. In other words, he stays both to take advantage of the “open door” and because he needs to resist those who “oppose” him. Alternate translation: [and also] (2) a potential reason why Paul would not stay in Ephesus. Paul would be saying that the “open door” is enough reason to stay even though there are many who “oppose” him. Alternate translation: [even though]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πολλοί

many_‹are›

Paul is using the adjective many as a noun in order to describe a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [many people]
