UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅθεν

whence

Here, the word Therefore introduces an inference from what the author has said about Jesus in 2:5–18. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that clearly introduces an inference. Alternate translation: [As a result of all that] or [Because of those things]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφοὶ

brothers

Although the word brothers is masculine, the author is using it to refer to all believers, both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that applies to both men and women or you could refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [brothers and sisters]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

κλήσεως ἐπουρανίου, μέτοχοι

˱of˲_/the/_calling heavenly partakers

Here the author uses the possessive form to indicate that believers “share” a heavenly calling. Believers could “share” this calling with: (1) other believers. Alternate translation: [who share together in a heavenly calling] (2) Jesus. Alternate translation: [share with Jesus a heavenly calling]

κλήσεως ἐπουρανίου

˱of˲_/the/_calling heavenly

Here, the word heavenly could indicate that the calling (1) comes from “heaven” (See: how God’s voice comes from heaven in 12:25–26). Alternate translation: [of a calling from heaven] (2) directs us toward “heaven.” Alternate translation: [of a calling to heaven] or [of a calling to enter heaven]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν ἀπόστολον

the ambassador

Here, the word apostle refers to someone who has been sent. In this passage, it does not refer to any of the 12 “apostles.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a descriptive phrase instead of the word you normally use for the 12 “apostles.” Alternate translation: [the sent one] or [the ambassador]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸν ἀπόστολον καὶ ἀρχιερέα τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν

the ambassador and chief_priest ˱of˲_the confession ˱of˲_us

Here the author uses the possessive form to speak about the apostle and the high priest who is the main content of our confession. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea without using a possessive form. Alternate translation: [the apostle and high priest whom we confess]
