UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἣν

which

Just as in 2:7, which refers to “the wisdom,” not to “a mystery.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could repeat “wisdom” here. Alternate translation: [the wisdom that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῶν ἀρχόντων τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου

˱of˲_the rulers ¬the ˱of˲_age this

Just as in 2:6, Paul uses the possessive form to describe rulers who are in power during this age. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this form by using language about the time in which the rulers have power or the place in which they have power. Alternate translation: [of the rulers who have power now] or [of the rulers who control this world]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, for introduces Paul’s proof that the rulers did not understand. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the meaning of this word using a word that customarily introduces proof or evidence. Alternate translation: [which is true because]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary

εἰ & ἔγνωσαν, οὐκ ἂν τὸν Κύριον τῆς δόξης ἐσταύρωσαν;

if & ˱they˲_knew not would the Lord ¬the ˱of˲_glory ˱they˲_crucified

Here Paul uses if to introduce a scenario that he knows is not true. He wants to point out that the rulers were the ones who crucified Jesus, and this proves that they did not understand God’s wisdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this form by reversing the two clauses and making they understood it negative and they would not have crucified the Lord of glory positive. Alternate translation: [they crucified the Lord of glory, which means that they did not understand it]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸν Κύριον τῆς δόξης

the Lord ¬the ˱of˲_glory

Here Paul uses the possessive form to describe the Lord who has glory. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this form by translating glory with an adjective or a relative clause. Alternate translation: [the Lord, who has glory]
