UTN uW Translation Notes:
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
τοῦ ἔθνους
the nation
See how you translated nation in the previous verse.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὰ τέκνα τοῦ Θεοῦ
the children ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here John uses the word children to express the relationship between God and those who trust Jesus for salvation. That relationship is like the relationship between children and their father. See the discussion of this phrase in the General Notes to chapter 1. Since this is an important metaphor in the Bible, you should keep it in your translation. However, you can use a simile if it might confuse your readers. Alternate translation: “those who are like God’s children”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἵνα καὶ τὰ τέκνα τοῦ Θεοῦ, τὰ διεσκορπισμένα συναγάγῃ εἰς ἕν
in_order_that also the children ¬the ˱of˲_God the_‹ones› /having_been/_scattered /may/_gather_together into one
If your language does not use the passive voice, you could express the ideas of these two passive phrases in active forms or in another way that is natural in your language. You may need to change the sentence structure in order to do this. Alternate translation: “so that also Jesus would gather together into one the children of God whom God had scattered”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
συναγάγῃ εἰς ἕν
/may/_gather_together into one
Here, John is leaving out a word that some languages would need in order for the sentence to be complete. The word people is implied by the context. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “would be gathered into one people”
