UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ γὰρ

also for

Here, the phrase For even introduces further explanation of the “afflictions” that Paul mentioned in 7:4. However, Paul is also speaking again about what he said in 2:13 about traveling to Macedonia. Consider a natural way to reintroduce Paul’s travel plans, and if possible, use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation of the afflictions. Alternate translation: [Speaking of afflictions, I will tell you more about my journeys:] or [Now as for the travels I have spoken about,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθόντων ἡμῶν εἰς

/having/_come ˱of˲_us into

In a context such as this, it may be more natural in your language to say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: [having gone to]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἡ σὰρξ ἡμῶν

the flesh ˱of˲_us

Here, the phrase our flesh refers to the whole person. Paul uses it to emphasize the physical or bodily nature of their suffering. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the whole person and not just their flesh. Alternate translation: [we ourselves]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐδεμίαν ἔσχηκεν ἄνεσιν

not_one /has/_had relaxation

Here Paul continues what he was saying in 2:13 about how he “had no relief” in his “spirit.” What he means is that traveling to Macedonia did not help with his concerns about Titus or his sufferings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [had no relief from our sufferings and worries at all]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐδεμίαν ἔσχηκεν ἄνεσιν

not_one /has/_had relaxation

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of relief, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “relieve” or “rest.” Alternate translation: [was not relieved at all] or [could not rest at all]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

θλιβόμενοι

/being/_oppressed

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 did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [we were experiencing afflictions] or [people were afflicting us]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔξωθεν μάχαι, ἔσωθεν φόβοι

outside quarrels inside fears

Here, the word without identifies the source of the conflicts as external to Paul and those with him. The word within identifies the source of the fears as internal to Paul and his fellow workers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words or phrases that similarly identify internal and external sources. Alternate translation: [conflicts from others, fears from ourselves] or [conflicts on the outside, fears on the inside]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἔξωθεν μάχαι, ἔσωθεν φόβοι

outside quarrels inside fears

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of conflicts and fears, you could express the ideas by using verbs such as “quarrel” and “fear.” Alternate translation: [people fought us without, and we feared within]
