UTN uW Translation Notes:

Here the author refers to a story about a man named Noah. When God decided to punish humans for their sins by flooding the earth, he warned Noah about it. Noah built a boat called an “ark” and survived the flood with his family. You can read about Noah in Genesis 6:9–8:22. You might want to include this information in a footnote.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

χρηματισθεὶς

/having_been/_warned

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 Noah, who was warned, rather than on the person doing the warning. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: [when God warned him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῶν μηδέπω βλεπομένων

the_‹things› not_yet /being/_seen

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 what is not yet being seen rather than on the person doing the seeing. If you must state who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [things no one could yet see] or [the things that people could not yet see]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν μηδέπω βλεπομένων

the_‹things› not_yet /being/_seen

Here, the phrase things not yet being seen refers to events that have not yet happened. In this case, it refers specifically to the flood that drowned everyone except for Noah and his family. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it clearer that this phrase refers to events that had not yet happened. Alternate translation: [the things not yet having happened]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς σωτηρίαν τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ

for /the/_salvation ˱of˲_the household ˱of˲_him

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “rescue” or “save.” Alternate translation: [to save his household]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

ἧς

which

Here, the word which could refer to: (1) faith. Alternate translation: [which faith] (2) the ark. Alternate translation: [which ark] (3) salvation. Alternate translation: [which salvation]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν κόσμον

the world

Here, the word world refers primarily to the people who were living in the world. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer specifically to people here. Alternate translation: [everyone in the world] or [all people]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς & δικαιοσύνης, ἐγένετο κληρονόμος

˱of˲_the & righteousness became heir

Here the author speaks as if Noah were a child who would receive property from a relative. He speaks in this way to indicate that Noah received righteousness from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [became one who received the righteousness] or [received the righteousness]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς κατὰ πίστιν δικαιοσύνης

˱of˲_the according_to faith righteousness

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of righteousness and faith, you could express the ideas by using an adjective such as “righteous” and a verb such as “believe.” Alternate translation: [who was righteous because of how he believed] or [whom God declared righteous because he believed]
