UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ γὰρ

also for

Here, the phrase For indeed indicates that Paul is adding more information (indeed) that supports what he said in the previous verse (For). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words that introduce added information that supports a previous statement. Alternate translation: “Further” or “And in fact”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐν τούτῳ

in this

Here, the phrase in this could refer to: (1) the earthly house that is a tent, that is, the person’s current body. Alternate translation: “in this tent” or “in our bodies on earth” (2) the current time period. Alternate translation: “right now” or “in this time”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

ἐν τούτῳ στενάζομεν, τὸ οἰκητήριον ἡμῶν τὸ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπενδύσασθαι ἐπιποθοῦντες

in this ˱we˲_/are/_groaning the dwelling ˱of˲_us which_‹is› from heaven /to/_be_clothed longing

Here Paul continues to refer to mortal bodies and resurrection bodies as “houses” or “dwellings.” You should express the idea as you did in 5:1. Paul also begins to refer to receiving new, resurrection bodies as if they were pieces of clothing that people could put on. This also is an important figure of speech for the following verses, so preserve the language if possible. If it is necessary, you could use a simile or express the idea in another natural way that fits with the “building” language. Alternate translation: “in this house, that is, our mortal body, we groan, longing to completely live in our dwelling that is from heaven, that is, our resurrection body”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐπενδύσασθαι

/to/_be_clothed

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who will do the action, Paul implies that “God” will do it. Alternate translation: “for God to fully clothe us”
