UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces the next idea in the quotation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next idea, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Further,”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διδάσκοντες

teaching

Here, the word teaching introduces a reason why their worship is in vain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason. Alternate translation: “since they teach”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων

˱as˲_teachings /the/_commandments ˱of˲_humans

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of doctrines and commandments, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “as authoritative what men have commanded”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων

/the/_commandments ˱of˲_humans

Here, Isaiah is using the possessive form to describe commandments that are given by men. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “things commanded by men”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπων

˱of˲_humans

Although the term men is masculine, Isaiah is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “of people”
