UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἐπ’ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν τούτων, ἐλάλησεν ἡμῖν ἐν Υἱῷ, ὃν

in /the/_last ¬the days these spoke ˱to˲_us by /his/_Son whom

The author uses words and phrases in this clause that make its structure parallel to the previous verse (1:1). He does this to emphasize the contrast between “long ago” and at the last of these days. If possible, use the same structures in this clause as you did in the last verse. Alternate translation: “has spoken to us through a Son at the last of these days. This Son is the one whom”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐπ’ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν τούτων

in /the/_last ¬the days these

Here, the phrase the last of these days refers to the last period in the history of the world, which began when Jesus lived, died, and came alive again. Alternate translation: “in his last period in the history of the world”

Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Υἱῷ

/his/_Son

Here, the word Son is an important title for Jesus, the Son of God.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

κληρονόμον πάντων

heir ˱of˲_all_‹things›

Here the author uses the possessive form to indicate that the heir receives or inherits all things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase such as “receive” or “inherit.” Alternate translation: “the heir who inherits all things”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἔθηκεν κληρονόμον πάντων

˱he˲_appointed heir ˱of˲_all_‹things›

Here the author speaks as if Jesus were a child who would receive property passed on by the parent to their child when the parent dies. He speaks in this way to indicate that Jesus is the Son who will “inherit” all things, which means that he will rule over everything that exists. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he appointed owner of all things” or “he appointed to be the one who will rule over all things”
