UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, But introduces a contrast with what some people are thinking in the previous verse, that is, that Paul is not going to visit them. In this verse, he says that he will visit them soon. Use a word or phrase in your language that introduces a strong contrast. Alternate translation: “Despite what they think,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἐλεύσομαι & ταχέως πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἐὰν ὁ Κύριος θελήσῃ

˱I˲_/will_be/_coming & quickly to you_all if the Lord /may/_will

If your language would put the if statement first, you could rearrange these two clauses. Alternate translation: “if the Lord wills, I will come to you soon”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλεύσομαι & πρὸς ὑμᾶς

˱I˲_/will_be/_coming & to you_all

Here Paul is speaking about his plan to visit the Corinthians at some point. Use a form in your language that indicates future travel plans to visit someone. Alternate translation: “I will arrive where you live”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

ἐὰν ὁ Κύριος θελήσῃ

if the Lord /may/_will

Here Paul says that he will only visit the Corinthians if the Lord wills. He is not sure whether the Lord will “will” or not. Use a form in your language that indicates a true hypothetical. Alternate translation: “only if the Lord wills, of course”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν λόγον & τὴν δύναμιν

the speech & their power

The contrast between word and power was well known in Paul’s culture. The contrast states that people can say many things, but they cannot always do what they say they can. If your language has a way to express this contrast between “talk” and “action,” you could use it here. Alternate translation: “the talk … their deeds”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον τῶν πεφυσιωμένων

the speech ˱of˲_the_‹ones› /having_been/_arrogant

Here, word represents what someone says in words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express word with an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “what these who have been puffed up say”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῶν πεφυσιωμένων

˱of˲_the_‹ones› /having_been/_arrogant

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. If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that the people “puff” themselves up. Alternate translation: “of these people who have puffed themselves up”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν δύναμιν

their power

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind power, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “powerful.” Alternate translation: “how powerful they are” or “their powerful deeds”
