UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

μὲν

indeed

Here, the word translated Indeed could: (1) connect this sentence to the previous claim that Paul is equal to the “super-apostles.” You could use a word or phrase that links two statements, or you could leave Indeed untranslated. Alternate translation: [In fact] (2) introduce the first part of a contrast. In this case, Paul does not directly state the second half of the contrast. He would be implying that they did not pay attention to these signs. Alternate translation: [Although you did not pay attention to them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὰ & σημεῖα τοῦ ἀποστόλου

the & signs ˱of˲_the ambassador

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe signs that prove that someone is an apostle. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the signs that show that someone is an apostle] or [signs that go along with true apostles]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὰ & σημεῖα τοῦ ἀποστόλου κατειργάσθη

the & signs ˱of˲_the ambassador /was/_produced

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, Paul could be implying that: (1) he performed the signs. Alternate translation: [I performed the signs of an apostle] (2) God performed the signs through him. Alternate translation: [God performed the signs of an apostle through me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν πάσῃ ὑπομονῇ

among in all endurance

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of endurance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [consistently] or [without ceasing]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπομονῇ— σημείοις τε, καὶ τέρασιν, καὶ δυνάμεσιν

endurance ˱in˲_signs and and wonders and miracles

Here, the list, both signs and wonders and miracles, could be: (1) examples of what the signs of an apostle were. Alternate translation: [endurance, which included both signs and wonders and miracles] (2) the ways in which Paul demonstrated the signs of an apostle. Alternate translation: [endurance, shown through signs and wonders and miracles] or [endurance with both signs and wonders and miracles]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

σημείοις τε, καὶ τέρασιν, καὶ δυνάμεσιν

˱in˲_signs and and wonders and miracles

Here Paul uses three similar words to describe supernatural acts that God empowered Paul to do. The word signs emphasizes that these acts reveal something; the word wonders emphasizes that these acts are amazing or unusual; the word miracles emphasizes that these acts are powerful. Paul uses these three words to show that he performed various acts that showed that he was an apostle. If your language does not have different words that emphasize these three aspects of the supernatural acts, you could combine two or all three of these words into one word or phrase and emphasize the variety in another way. Alternate translation: [many and various miracles] or [both many signs and various miracles]
