UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-versebridge

ἑαυτοὺς ἐν ἀγάπῃ Θεοῦ τηρήσατε

yourselves in /the/_love ˱of˲_God keep

If your language would put the command at the front of the sentence and before other modifying clauses, then you could create a verse bridge by moving this clause to the previous verse, placing it just before “building yourselves up in your most holy faith”. You would need to present the combined verses as 20–21.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἑαυτοὺς ἐν ἀγάπῃ Θεοῦ τηρήσατε

yourselves in /the/_love ˱of˲_God keep

Here Jude speaks of remaining able to receive the love of God as if one were keeping oneself in a certain place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this metaphor explicitly. Alternate translation: [keep yourselves able to receive the love of God]

προσδεχόμενοι τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν

waiting_for the mercy ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us

This clause occurs at the same time as the clause that precedes it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this connection explicitly. Alternate translation: [while waiting for the mercy of our Lord] or [while expecting the mercy of our Lord]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

the mercy ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

Here, mercy could refer to: (1) the mercy Jesus will show to believers when he returns to earth. Alternate translation: [our Lord Jesus Christ to return and act mercifully] (2) Jesus’ continued acts of mercy toward believers in general. Alternate translation: [our Lord Jesus Christ to act mercifully]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν

˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us

Here, our Lord means “the person who is lord over us” or “the person who rules over us.” See how you translated this expression in verse 17. Alternate translation: [of the person who rules over us,]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us

Here, our refers to all believers.

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον

the mercy ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ to life eternal

Jude is using to to introduce the result of the mercy. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: [the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which brings eternal life]
