UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

behold

The term Behold focuses the attention of a listener or reader on what a speaker or writer is about to say. Alternate translation: “Indeed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν ὑπομονὴν Ἰὼβ ἠκούσατε

the endurance ˱of˲_Job ˱you_all˲_heard

James assumes that his readers will know the story of Job from the Scriptures. If your readers might not be familiar with his story, you could describe it in more detail. Alternate translation: “You know from the Scriptures how a man named Job who lived long ago patiently endured great suffering”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ τέλος Κυρίου εἴδετε

the outcome ˱of˲_/the/_Lord ˱you_all˲_saw

James is continuing to refer to the story of Job. Here, end could mean: (1) purpose. In that case, James would be using the term seen to mean “recognized.” Alternate translation: “you have recognized the purpose that the Lord had for Job’s sufferings” (2) final result. In that case, James would be using the term seen to mean “learned.” Alternate translation: “you have learned from the Scriptures how the Lord helped Job in the end”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι πολύσπλαγχνός ἐστιν ὁ Κύριος καὶ οἰκτίρμων

that much_compassionate is the Lord and compassionate

Here, that could mean: (1) “for” and introduce a reason. James may be giving the reason why God was pursuing a good purpose even in Job’s sufferings or why God helped Job in the end. Alternate translation: “for the Lord is very compassionate and merciful” (2) something further that James’ readers would have learned from the story of Job. Alternate translation: “and you have realized from this story that the Lord is greatly compassionate and merciful”
