UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὐκ ἔσχηκα ἄνεσιν τῷ πνεύματί μου

not ˱I˲_/have/_had relaxation ˱in˲_the spirit ˱of˲_me

Here, the clause I had no relief in my spirit indicates that Paul was anxious or concerned. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable form or plain language. Alternate translation: [My mind could not rest] or [I was concerned]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἔσχηκα ἄνεσιν τῷ πνεύματί μου

not ˱I˲_/have/_had relaxation ˱in˲_the spirit ˱of˲_me

Here Paul does not clarify what he was concerned or anxious about. He clarifies later in 7:5–16 that he was anxious to know how Titus’ visit to the Corinthians went. The Corinthians would have made this inference, since Titus had already visited them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this information more explicit. Alternate translation: [I had no relief in my spirit about Titus’ visit to you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐκ ἔσχηκα ἄνεσιν τῷ πνεύματί μου

not ˱I˲_/have/_had relaxation ˱in˲_the spirit ˱of˲_me

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of relief, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “restful” or “relieved.” Alternate translation: [My spirit was not restful] or [My spirit was not relieved]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ εὑρεῖν με Τίτον τὸν ἀδελφόν μου

not /to/_find me Titus the brother ˱of˲_me

Here Paul is stating that Titus was not in Troas, not that he simply could not find him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that shows that Titus was not in the city of Troas when Paul visited there. Alternate translation: [as I found out that my brother Titus was not there] or [as my brother Titus was not in the city]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Τίτον τὸν ἀδελφόν μου

Titus the brother ˱of˲_me

Here Paul speaks of Titus as if he were his brother (probably a younger brother). He speaks in this way to indicate that Titus is a fellow believer and that he and Paul are as close as if they were brothers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or plain language to express this idea. Alternate translation: [Titus, who is like my own brother,] or [my very dear friend and fellow believer Titus]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀποταξάμενος αὐτοῖς

/having/_bid_goodbye ˱to˲_them

Here Paul refers to how he said farewell to the people from Troas, but he also means that he left their city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [having said farewell to them and departed]

Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

Here, the word them refers to the friends that Paul made in the city of “Troas” (See: 2:12). Most likely, these people were fellow believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make to whom them refers more explicit. Alternate translation: [to the people from Troas] or [to my friends in Troas]
