UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces the reason why Abraham did what the author describes in 11:8–9. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason for a certain kind of behavior. Alternate translation: [since]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξεδέχετο

˱he˲_/was/_awaiting

Here, the phrase he was waiting for indicates that Abraham was expecting or looking forward to living in the city having foundations. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what the author implies more explicit. Alternate translation: [he was waiting to dwell in] or [he was expecting to live in]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν τοὺς θεμελίους ἔχουσαν πόλιν

the ¬the foundations having city

Here, the word city refers to a place that currently exists in heaven. The author will refer to it again in this and the following two chapters. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that the author is referring to a heavenly city, not any city on earth right now. Alternate translation: [the city in heaven having foundations]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τοὺς θεμελίους ἔχουσαν

¬the foundations having

Here the author describes the city as having foundations to indicate that it is stable and long-lasting. In other words, this city will never disappear or be destroyed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea plainly or with a comparable phrase. Alternate translation: [having solid foundations] or [that will last forever]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἧς τεχνίτης καὶ δημιουργὸς ὁ Θεός

˱of˲_which /the/_craftsman and builder_‹is› ¬the God

Here, the words architect and builder function together to identify that God is one who created the city. It is possible that architect refers to how God designed or planned the city, while builder refers to how God created the city. If you do not have two words for these categories, you could use a single word or phrase to identify God as the creator of the city. Alternate translation: [whose creator is God] or [which God made]
