UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ πιστεύων εἰς τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἔχει τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἐν αὑτῷ; ὁ μὴ πιστεύων τῷ Θεῷ, ψεύστην πεποίηκεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐ πεπίστευκεν εἰς τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἣν μεμαρτύρηκεν ὁ Θεὸς περὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ

the_‹one› believing in the Son ¬the ˱of˲_God /is/_having the testimony in himself the_‹one› not believing ¬the ˱in˲_God /a/_liar /has/_made him because not ˱he˲_/has/_believed in the testimony that /has/_testified ¬the God concerning the Son ˱of˲_him

This verse comes in between John’s two introductions of God’s testimony. If this is confusing in your language, you can state something explicitly that tells your reader that the testimony is still coming, as in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ὁ πιστεύων

the_‹one› believing

John is speaking of everyone who believes, not of any particular person. Alternate translation: [Any person who believes]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ

in the Son ¬the ˱of˲_God

John implicitly means that they believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Alternate translation: [that Jesus is the Son of God]

Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_God

Son of God is an important title for Jesus.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἔχει τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἐν αὑτῷ

/is/_having the testimony in himself

John speaks of the testimony as if it were an object that could be inside believers. Alternate translation: [completely accepts what God has said]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν μαρτυρίαν

the testimony

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun testimony with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [what God has said]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ψεύστην πεποίηκεν αὐτόν

/a/_liar /has/_made him

As in 1:10, be sure that it is clear in your translation that God would not actually be a liar in this case. Rather, since God has said that Jesus is his Son, a person who did not believe that would be calling God a liar. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [is, in effect, saying that God is a liar]

Note 8 topic: writing-poetry

τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἣν μεμαρτύρηκεν ὁ Θεὸς περὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ

the testimony the testimony that /has/_testified ¬the God concerning the Son ˱of˲_him

John is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language. Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this. Alternate translation: [what God has testified about his Son] or [the testimony that God has given about his son]
