UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here the author draws an inference from how Jesus has many “brothers,” who are also God’s little children (See: 2:11–13. The word Therefore also introduces a new development in the argument, since the author now begins to talk about what Jesus has done for those who believe. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an inference or a development in the argument. Alternate translation: [In light of that] or [So then]

Note 2 topic: translate-kinship

τὰ παιδία

the little_children

Here, the phrase little children refers back to the phrase as it appears in the quotation in the previous verse (See: 2:13). See how you translated it there. Alternate translation: [the people who are like God’s little children]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

αἵματος καὶ σαρκός

˱of˲_blood and ˱of˲_flesh

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The words flesh and blood together identify what it means to be human, which includes eventually dying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use and. Alternate translation: [humanity] or [what it means to be human]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

τῶν αὐτῶν

˱of˲_the same_‹things›

Here, the phrase the same things refers back to flesh and blood. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this connection explicit. Alternate translation: [the same flesh and blood]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ τοῦ θανάτου

through his death

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “die.” Alternate translation: [when he died,]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ κράτος ἔχοντα τοῦ θανάτου

the power holding ¬the ˱of˲_death

Here the author uses the possessive form to describe power that is based on death. In other words, the power comes from the fact that people experience death, which can be used to control them. In this case, the power of death partly comes from the “fear of death” (See: 2:15). Alternate translation: [who uses death to have power]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸ κράτος ἔχοντα τοῦ θανάτου

the power holding ¬the ˱of˲_death

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of power and death, you could express the ideas by using verbs such as “control” and “die” or in another natural way. Be sure that your translation fits with the choice you made about how power and death relate (See: the previous note). Alternate translation: [who makes use of how people die to act powerfully]
