UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γάρ

for

Here, the word For introduces the proof for what the author has claimed about how God’s “works were finished from the foundation of the world” (See: 4:3). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces proof or support. Alternate translation: [In fact,]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

εἴρηκεν & που

˱he˲_/has/_spoken & somewhere

Here, just as in 4:3, the word he could refer to: (1) the Holy Spirit, whom the author identifies as the speaker of the Psalms quotation (See: 3:7). Alternate translation: [God’s Spirit has somewhere spoken] (2) God considered as a unity. Alternate translation: [God has somewhere spoken]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

εἴρηκεν & που περὶ τῆς ἑβδόμης οὕτως

˱he˲_/has/_spoken & somewhere concerning the seventh_‹day› thus

Here the author quotes from the Old Testament. He does not introduce it as a quotation but instead as words that someone (probably the Holy Spirit) has spoken. However, the audience would have understood that this was a quotation from the Old Testament, specifically from Genesis 2:2. This passage tells the story of how God created everything in six days and then rested on the seventh day. Since the author introduces the quotation as words that someone has spoken, you should do the same. The word somewhere shows that the words come from Scriptures without stating exactly where. If your readers would not know that the quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify the quotation. Alternate translation: [in another place he has said thus about the seventh day]

Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal

τῆς ἑβδόμης & τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ

the seventh_‹day› & the day ¬the seventh

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use cardinal numbers here. Alternate translation: [day seven … day seven]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντων τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ

all the works ˱of˲_him

Here, the phrase all his works refers specifically to the works of creation. The quotation does not mean that God stopped doing everything. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [all his works of creating]
