UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces a further explanation of “the earthly holy place” (See: 9:1). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that introduces a further explanation, or you could leave for untranslated. Alternate translation: [for which purpose]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σκηνὴ & κατεσκευάσθη

/a/_tabernacle & /was/_prepared

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 on the tabernacle that was prepared rather than on the person doing the preparing. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that “the Israelites” did it. Alternate translation: [the Israelites prepared a tabernacle]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡ πρώτη

the first_‹room›

Here, the phrase the first one identifies which part of the tabernacle the author is speaking about. The tabernacle structure was made up of two rooms or sections. The word first refers to the first part that a person would enter. The author will describe the second part in 9:3–5. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the outer room]

Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal

ἡ πρώτη

the first_‹room›

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: [section one] or [room one]

Note 5 topic: writing-background

ἥ τε λυχνία καὶ ἡ τράπεζα, καὶ ἡ Πρόθεσις τῶν ἄρτων

the both lampstand and the table and the Presence ˱of˲_the bread

To provide background about the “first covenant,” here the author refers to some things that God had the Israelites put in the first section of the tabernacle. The loaves were “presented” on the table. You can read God’s instructions about the lampstand, table, and loaves in Exodus 25:23–40. If your language has a translation of Exodus, you could use the same words here. If you do not have a translation of Exodus, you could make it clear that these are holy or special items that the priests used when they were serving God. Alternate translation: [both the holy lampstand and the special table with the presentation of God’s loaves]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

καὶ ἡ Πρόθεσις τῶν ἄρτων

and the and the Presence ˱of˲_the bread

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind presentation, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “present” or “display.” Alternate translation: [on which they displayed the loaves]

Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns

ἥτις

which

Here, the word which refers to the first part of the tabernacle. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make explicit that the pronoun refers to the first part. Alternate translation: [which first part]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

λέγεται

/is_being/_called

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 on what is called rather than on the person doing the calling. If you must state who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [people called] or [they named]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἅγια

/the/_Holy_‹Place›

Here the author uses another name for the first part of the tabernacle. He does not use this exact name to refer to first part of the tabernacle again, and it is likely that here he uses the name that he found in his version of the Old Testament. Make sure that your readers know that the author is quoting a name that he knew about. Alternate translation: [by the name ‘Holy Room’]
