UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

καί

and

Here and in the next two verses, the author quotes from the Old Testament. He uses And to indicate that these are more words that God says “with regard to the Son” (See: 1:8). The audience would have understood that this was a quotation from the Old Testament, here from Psalm 102:25–27. Since the author introduces this quotation as words that God has said about the Son, you should introduce the quotation as words that someone has said. If your readers would not know that the quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify the quotation. Alternate translation: [God says further,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

σὺ κατ’ ἀρχάς, Κύριε, τὴν γῆν ἐθεμελίωσας, καὶ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σού εἰσιν οἱ οὐρανοί

you in /the/_beginnings Lord the earth established and works ˱of˲_the hands ˱of˲_you are the heavens

This part of the quotation includes two statements that mean almost the same thing. One statement uses earth language, and the other uses heavens language. This was considered good poetry in the author’s culture, and heavens and earth together refer to everything that God made. If this would not be good poetry in your culture, and if the repetition would be confusing, you could combine the two statements. Alternate translation: [according to the beginnings, O Lord, you founded the earth and the heavens] or [according to the beginnings, O Lord, you made everything, both earth and heavens]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σὺ & ἐθεμελίωσας & σού

you & established & ˱of˲_you

Since the words you and your refer to one person, the Son, you and your are singular here.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατ’ ἀρχάς

in /the/_beginnings

Here, the phrase according to the beginnings refers to when all created things first came into being. In other words, the beginnings identifies the time when God created the universe. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [when everything began to exist] or [at the beginning of the creation]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

Κύριε

Lord

Here, the word Lord directly addresses and names who you in the quote is. Use a form in your language that indicates direct address. Alternate translation: [O Lord]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν γῆν ἐθεμελίωσας

the earth established

Here the quotation refers to the earth as if it were a building that was set on a “foundation.” The Lord is the one who put the earth on its foundation or founded it. The author of the quotations speaks in this way in order to show that the Lord is the one who created and sustains the earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [perfectly set up the earth] or [made the earth]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῶν χειρῶν σού

˱of˲_the hands ˱of˲_you

Here, the word hands refers to the power and action that a person has by which to do works. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [of your power] or [that you powerfully did]
