UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For primarily introduces a new topic into the discussion. However, it may also indicate that what the author says about this new topic supports or gives a basis for an earlier claim. If this is so, For could introduce support for the claim in 2:1 about the need to “give attention,” or it could introduce support for the arguments in 1:5–14 about how the Son is superior to the angels. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a new section, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν οἰκουμένην τὴν μέλλουσαν

the inhabited_world ¬which coming

Here, the word world is the same word that is translated “world” in 1:6, and the author probably has the same world in mind here. He specifies that it is coming, which means that humans on earth do not yet experience this world but will experience it some day, when Jesus comes back. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in the same way you did in 1:6 and include the idea that humans will someday experience this world. Alternate translation: [the new world that God will give us]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

λαλοῦμεν

˱we˲_/are/_speaking

Here, the word we refers to the author, who is one who “speaks.” However, the author assumed that the audience was involved in the conversation by “hearing” what he “spoke,” so he uses we. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to just the speaker by using a pronoun such as “I.” Alternate translation: [I am speaking] or [I am telling you]
