UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἀγαπητοί

beloved

Beloved ones refers here to those to whom Jude is writing; it can be extended to all believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this term explicitly. Alternate translation: “Beloved fellow believers”

πᾶσαν σπουδὴν ποιούμενος γράφειν ὑμῖν

all earnestness making /to_be/_writing ˱to˲_you_all

This clause could refer to: (1) that fact that Jude had intended to write about something different than this letter is about. Alternate translation: “although making every effort to write to you” (2) the time when Jude was writing. Alternate translation: “when making every effort to write to you”

περὶ τῆς κοινῆς ἡμῶν σωτηρίας

concerning the common ˱of˲_us salvation

Alternate translation: “concerning the salvation we share”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

περὶ τῆς κοινῆς ἡμῶν σωτηρίας

concerning the common ˱of˲_us salvation

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun salvation with a verbal phrase. Alternate translation: “about how God saved us all together”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us

Here, our refers to Jude and his audience, fellow believers.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀνάγκην ἔσχον γράψαι

necessity ˱I˲_had /to/_write

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun necessity with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “I needed to write”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

παρακαλῶν ἐπαγωνίζεσθαι τῇ & πίστει

exhorting_‹you› /to_be/_contending ˱for˲_the & faith

This is a purpose clause. Jude is stating the purpose for which he has written the letter. In your translation, follow the conventions of your language for purpose clauses. Alternate translation (without a comma preceding): “in order to exhort you to contend for the faith”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

παρακαλῶν ἐπαγωνίζεσθαι τῇ & πίστει

exhorting_‹you› /to_be/_contending ˱for˲_the & faith

Jude is leaving out the word “you” that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. This word can be supplied from the previous clause. Alternate translation: “exhorting you to contend for the faith”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῇ ἅπαξ παραδοθείσῃ τοῖς ἁγίοις πίστει

˱for˲_the once /having_been/_given_over ˱to˲_the holy_‹ones› faith

If your language does not use the passive form delivered, you state who did the action. Alternate translation: “for the faith that God delivered once for all to the saints”

ἅπαξ

once

Here, once for all expresses the idea of something that was done only once and never again. The meaning of for all is “for all time.” It does not mean “for the sake of all people.”
