UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces an explanation of how the audience did what the author described in the previous verse (10:33). They became “partners” of those who were persecuted by “sympathizing” with the prisoners, and they themselves suffered persecution when people “seized” their possessions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation or specific examples of a general statement. Alternate translation: “Indeed,” or “In fact,”

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

τοῖς δεσμίοις

˱with˲_the prisoners

Here, instead of with the prisoners, some early manuscripts have with my chains. This phrase would indicate that the audience sympathized with the author while he was in prison. The evidence supports with the prisoners, however, so it is best to use the text that the ULT uses here.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετὰ χαρᾶς

with joy

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy, you could express the idea by using an adverb such as “joyfully.” Alternate translation: “joyfully”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γινώσκοντες

knowing

Here, the word knowing introduces a reason or cause for why the audience welcomed with joy the seizure of their possessions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or cause. Alternate translation: “since you know”

γινώσκοντες ἔχειν ἑαυτοὺς

knowing /to_be/_having yourselves

Alternate translation: “knowing that you have”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κρείσσονα ὕπαρξιν, καὶ μένουσαν

/a/_better possession and remaining

Here, the phrase better and abiding possession refers to what God has promised to give his people. The author does not specify exactly what this possession is, but he states that it is better than the possessions that were taken from them, and it is abiding, which means it will last forever. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the contrast with the earthly possessions that were “seized” more clear. Alternate translation: “something better and more eternal than those possessions”
