UTN uW Translation Notes:

γενόμενος

/having/_become

Here, the words having become could introduce: (1) an explanation of what “sitting at God’s right” side (1:3) means. Alternate translation: “thus, he has become” (2) a result that comes from “sitting at God’s right hand” (1:3). Alternate translation: “so, he has become” or “therefore, he has become”

τοσούτῳ κρείττων γενόμενος τῶν ἀγγέλων, ὅσῳ διαφορώτερον παρ’ αὐτοὺς, κεκληρονόμηκεν ὄνομα

˱by˲_so_much better_‹than› /having/_become the angels ˱to˲_as_much_as more_special beside them ˱he˲_/has/_inherited /a/_name

Here the author uses a comparison that indicates that the difference in “superiority” between the Son and the angels is the same as the difference between the Son’s name and the names of the angels. Consider clear ways to indicate such a comparison in your language. Alternate translation: “having become as much superior to the angels as the name that he has inherited is more excellent than theirs”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

διαφορώτερον & ὄνομα

more_special & /a/_name

Here the author does not clarify what name this is. It could be the title “Son,” the title “Lord,” the name “Jesus,” or God’s own special name, “Yahweh.” Since the author did not clarify to what name he is referring, it is best to refer to a name or title without stating what it is. Alternate translation: “a more excellent title”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κεκληρονόμηκεν

˱he˲_/has/_inherited

Here the author speaks as if Jesus were a child who would receive property that a parent passes on to their heir when the parent dies. He speaks in this way to indicate that Jesus receives a name from God the Father, although this does not mean that God the Father has died. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he has received” or “God has given him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

παρ’ αὐτοὺς

beside them

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. He omits these words because he stated them in the first half of the comparison (a name). If your language needs these words to make a complete sentence, you could include them here. Alternate translation: “than their names”
