UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, so that could introduce: (1) the result of everything he has said about God being the one who chooses and acts. If you use one of the following alternate translation, you may need to add a period before it. Alternate translation: “Because of all this” or “Therefore” (2) the purpose for which God chose the weak and foolish. Alternate translation: “in order that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἵνα καθὼς γέγραπται

in_order_that as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

Here Paul leaves out some words that might be required in your language to make a complete thought. If your language does need these words, you could supply words such as “we should do.” Alternate translation: “so that we should behave just as it is written”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καθὼς γέγραπται, ὁ καυχώμενος, ἐν Κυρίῳ καυχάσθω

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written the_‹one› boasting in /the/_Lord ˱him˲_/let_be/_boasting

If it would be unnatural in your language to put just as it is written before the quotation, you could put just as it is written at the end of the sentence. Alternate translation: “‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord,’ just as it is written”

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

In Paul’s culture, just as it is written is a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book written by Jeremiah the prophet (See: Jeremiah 9:24). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form with a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “as it can be read in the Old Testament” or “according to Jeremiah the prophet”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

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 what is written rather than the person doing the “writing.” If you must state who does the action, you can express it so that: (1) the scripture or scripture author writes or speaks the words. Alternate translation: “Jeremiah has written” (2) God speaks the words. Alternate translation: “God has said”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

ὁ καυχώμενος, ἐν Κυρίῳ καυχάσθω

the_‹one› boasting in /the/_Lord ˱him˲_/let_be/_boasting

Here Paul uses a third-person imperative. If you have third-person imperatives in your language, you could use one here. If you do not have third-person imperatives, you could: (1) translate this one as a conditional sentence, adding “if.” Alternate translation: “If people want to boast, they should boast in the Lord” (2) translate this one using a word such as “should.” Alternate translation: “Anyone who boasts should boast in the Lord”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν Κυρίῳ καυχάσθω

in /the/_Lord ˱him˲_/let_be/_boasting

When Paul says that someone can boast in the Lord, he does not mean that they are inside the Lord. Rather, he means that they are boasting about the Lord and what he has done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express boast in the Lord with a comparable phrase that indicates that someone is boasting about someone else. Alternate translation: “Let … boast with reference to the Lord”
