UTN uW Translation Notes:

Here the author refers to a story about a woman named Rahab. She was a prostitute who lived in the city of Jericho. When Joshua sent spies to see what Jericho was like, Rahab hid them from the leaders of the city and sent them safely back to Joshua. Because she did that, Joshua had the Israelites keep Rahab and her family alive when they conquered Jericho and killed everyone else. You can read about Rahab in Joshua 2:1–21 and Joshua 6:22–25. You might want to include this information in a footnote.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς ἀπειθήσασιν

˱with˲_the_‹ones› /having/_disbelieved

Here, the phrase the ones having disobeyed refers to everyone else who lived in Jericho. They did not respond to God and God’s people like Rahab did, so the author describes them as “disobedient.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could make who the ones having disobeyed are more explicit. Alternate translation: [with everyone else in Jericho who disobeyed] or [with the people who lived in Jericho and who disobeyed]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

δεξαμένη

/having/_received

Here, the phrase having welcomed introduces the reason or cause for why Rahab did not perish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this relationship more explicit. Alternate translation: [since she welcomed] or [for she welcomed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοὺς κατασκόπους

the spies

Here, the word spies refers to men whom Joshua had sent out to examine what the people and cities in the promised land were like before he and the Israelites attacked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to this kind of task. Alternate translation: [the scouts] or [those sent to investigate the land]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετ’ εἰρήνης

with peace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the idea by using an adverb such as “peacefully.” Alternate translation: [who had peacefully received the spies]
