UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐλιθάσθησαν, ἐπρίσθησαν, ἐπειράσθησαν

˱they˲_/were/_stoned ˱they˲_/were/_sawn ˱they˲_/were/_tempted

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. The author uses the passive form here to focus on those who experience these sufferings rather than on whoever makes them suffer. If you must state who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [People stoned them, people sawed them in two, people tried them]

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

ἐπειράσθησαν

˱they˲_/were/_tempted

Many early manuscripts do not include they were tried in this list. Consider whether translations that your readers are familiar with include they were tried. Otherwise, consider including the phrase as the ULT does.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν φόνῳ μαχαίρης

by murder ˱of˲_/the/_sword

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of slaughter, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “slaughter” or “kill.” Alternate translation: [when people slaughtered them with swords]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν μηλωταῖς, ἐν αἰγίοις δέρμασιν

by in sheepskins in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλιθάσθησαν ἐπρίσθησαν ἐπειράσθησαν ἐν φόνῳ μαχαίρης ἀπέθανον περιῆλθον ἐν μηλωταῖς ἐν αἰγείοις δέρμασιν ὑστερούμενοι θλιβόμενοι κακουχούμενοι)

Here, the words sheepskins and goatskins refer to skins from animals. In the author’s culture, clothing was not made from animal skins but from the fur from the animals. So, people who wore “skins” were not able to get normal clothes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify what wearing sheepskins and goatskins would mean. Alternate translation: [wearing only the skins from sheep and goats] or [without proper clothing, wearing only sheepskins and goatskins]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἐν μηλωταῖς, ἐν αἰγίοις δέρμασιν

Here the author refers to both sheepskins and goatskins to emphasize that the people he is discussing did not have any other clothing. If you do not have two words for these categories, or if it would be unclear why the author refers to both kinds of skins, you could use a single word or phrase that refers to the skins from animals. Alternate translation: [in skins from animals]
