UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

τὰ κατ’ ἐμὲ πάντα γνωρίσει ὑμῖν Τυχικὸς, ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἀδελφὸς, καὶ πιστὸς διάκονος, καὶ σύνδουλος ἐν Κυρίῳ

the_‹things› concerning me all /will_be/_making_known ˱to˲_you_all Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow-slave in /the/_Lord

Connecting Statement:

If it would be helpful in your language, you could rearrange this sentence so that: (1) what Tychicus will make known to them comes after to you, and (2) the words that describe Tychicus come after his name. You may need to make one or both of these changes to make the verse clear in your language. Alternate translation: “Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow slave in the Lord, will make known to you all the things concerning me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὰ κατ’ ἐμὲ πάντα

the_‹things› concerning me all

When Paul speaks of All the things concerning me, he refers to details about his life such as where he is living, his health, how his work is progressing, and other similar details. If your language has a customary way to refer to this kind of information, you could use it here, or you could express the idea with a descriptive phrase. Alternate translation: “All the news about me” or “All the details about how I am doing”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

Τυχικὸς

Tychicus

Tychicus is the name of a man.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πιστὸς διάκονος

faithful servant

If your language would state whom Tychicus serves, you could make this explicit. He could be a servant to: (1) Paul. Alternate translation: “my faithful servant” (2) the Lord, and thus the Lord’s church as well. Alternate translation: “faithful servant of the Lord and his church”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σύνδουλος

fellow-slave

If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it explicit that Tychicus is a slave of Christ, along with Paul. Alternate translation: “fellow slave of Christ”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Κυρίῳ

in /the/_Lord

Paul uses the spatial metaphor in the Lord to describe the union of believers with Christ. In this case, being in the Lord, or united to the Lord, identifies Paul and Tychicus as “slaves” of the Lord because of their union with him. Alternate translation: “in union with the Lord”
