UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν πίστει

in faith

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun faith with a verb such as “trust.” Alternate translation: “confidently trusting God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

μηδὲν διακρινόμενος

nothing doubting

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this double negative that consists of the negative verb doubting and the negative object nothing with a positive expression. Alternate translation: “with complete certainty that God will answer”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ἔοικεν κλύδωνι θαλάσσης, ἀνεμιζομένῳ καὶ ῥιπιζομένῳ

/is/_like ˱to˲_/a/_wave ˱of˲_/the/_sea /being/_blown and /being/_tossed

The point of this comparison is that anyone who doubts will be like a wave in the ocean, which keeps moving in different directions. In your translation, you could express this meaning plainly. (However, you could also reproduce the simile, as suggested in the next note.) Alternate translation: “will keep changing his mind about what to do”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

κλύδωνι θαλάσσης, ἀνεμιζομένῳ καὶ ῥιπιζομένῳ

˱to˲_/a/_wave ˱of˲_/the/_sea /being/_blown and /being/_tossed

If you would like to use a simile in your translation but your readers would not be familiar with a wave of the sea, you could use another illustration that would be familiar to them. Alternate translation: “the desert sand swirling in the wind” or “stalks of tall grass swaying back and forth in the wind”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κλύδωνι θαλάσσης, ἀνεμιζομένῳ καὶ ῥιπιζομένῳ

˱to˲_/a/_wave ˱of˲_/the/_sea /being/_blown and /being/_tossed

If your language does not use this passive form, you can express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “an ocean wave that the wind is blowing and tossing around”
