UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῦ & αὐτοῦ, πρὸς ὃν

him & ˱of˲_him with whom

Here, the words him and whom could refer to: (1) God, who spoke the “word” that is referred to in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [God … of him to whom] (2) the “word” that is referred to in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [this word … of it to which]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐκ ἔστιν κτίσις ἀφανὴς

no ˱there˲_is creation hidden

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus what is hidden rather than what does the hiding. If you must state who did the action, you could use a vague subject or have the creature trying to hide itself. Alternate translation: [no creature can hide] or [no creature can hide itself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πάντα & γυμνὰ καὶ τετραχηλισμένα

all_‹things› & naked and /having_been/_exposed_‹are›

Here the author speaks about all things as if they were a naked person whose body was bare for all to see. He also speaks of all things as if someone had pulled another person’s head back to “lay open” his or her neck. Both of these expressions indicate that God sees and knows everything about all things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [all things are visible and revealed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

γυμνὰ καὶ τετραχηλισμένα

naked and /having_been/_exposed_‹are›

These two terms mean basically the same thing and are used together to emphasize that God sees and knows everything. If your language does not use repetition to do this or if you do not have two words for these ideas, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [are visible] or [are revealed]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τετραχηλισμένα

/having_been/_exposed_‹are›

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Since the author is describing a characteristic of all things, avoid stating a subject here. It may be best to express the idea with an adjective. Alternate translation: [open] or [visible]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ

˱to˲_the eyes ˱of˲_him

Here, the word eyes refers to sight or knowledge. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in plain language. Alternate translation: [to the sight of him] or [for him to know, who is the one]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πρὸς ὃν ἡμῖν ὁ λόγος

with whom ˱to˲_us_‹is› the account

This phrase could mean: (1) that God is the one whom the author is speaking about to his audience. The word here would refer to the “words” that the author is speaking to his audience. Alternate translation: [about whom we are speaking] (2) that God is one to whom the audience must relate. Alternate translation: [with whom we have to do]
