Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

γινώσκετε

˱you_all˲_/are/_knowing

Here, the phrase Know that introduces information that the author wants the audience to know. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that introduces information that someone wants to share with someone else. Alternate translation: “I wish to inform you that” or “I am letting you know that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν, Τιμόθεον

the brother ˱of˲_us Timothy

Here the author uses the term our brother to mean that Timothy also trusts in the Messiah. Christians often spoke of each other as members of a family together. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “Timothy, who belongs to the group of believers,”

ἀπολελυμένον

/having_been/_sent_away

Here, the word translated has been set free could refer to: (1) being released from jail or other confinement. Alternate translation: “has been released from jail” (2) departing or leaving a place, in this case where the author is. Alternate translation: “departed” or “left from this place”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν, Τιμόθεον, ἀπολελυμένον

the brother ˱of˲_us Timothy /having_been/_sent_away

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 Timothy, who has been set free, rather than on the person who set him free. If you must state who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “our brother Timothy is no longer in prison” or “they have set our brother Timothy free”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὄψομαι

˱I˲_/will_be/_seeing

Here the author speaks of visiting the audience as he were going to see them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “I will pay a visit to” or “I will stay with”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

ἐὰν

Here the author uses the conditional form to indicate that Timothy coming soon will lead to the author “seeing them” with Timothy. In other words, Timothy arriving soon will allow the author to travel with Timothy to see the audience. If the conditional form does not indicate a cause and effect relationship like this in your language, you could express the if statement in a way that does show the relationship. Alternate translation: “given that” or “as long as”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔρχηται

˱he˲_/may_be/_coming

This could mean implicitly that Timothy will: (1) arrive where the author is. Alternate translation: “he arrives here” or “he travels here” (2) arrive where the audience is. Alternate translation: “he arrives there” or “travels to you”
