UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

διότι

because

For here introduces a quotation of some phrases from an Old Testament book (Isaiah 40:6–8). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Peter is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “It is as Isaiah wrote in the scriptures”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς χόρτος, καὶ πᾶσα δόξα αὐτῆς ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου. ἐξηράνθη ὁ χόρτος, καὶ τὸ ἄνθος ἐξέπεσεν,

all flesh_‹is› like grass and all /the/_glory ˱of˲_it like /the/_flower ˱of˲_grass /was/_withered the grass and the flower fell_from

In these clauses and the first clause of the next verse, Peter quotes parts of Isaiah 40:6–8. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πᾶσα σὰρξ

all flesh_‹is›

Here Peter quotes Isaiah using the term flesh to refer to human beings in general, which are made of flesh. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “All humankind” or “Everyone”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πᾶσα δόξα αὐτῆς

all all /the/_glory ˱of˲_it

Peter quotes Isaiah using glory to refer to whatever is beautiful or magnificent about humankind. If this might confuse your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “everything that is glorious about humankind”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ἄνθος χόρτου. ἐξηράνθη ὁ χόρτος, καὶ τὸ ἄνθος ἐξέπεσεν

/the/_flower ˱of˲_grass /was/_withered the grass and the flower fell_from

Peter quotes Isaiah speaking of grass and flowers in general, not of one particular blade of grass or one flower. If this would be misunderstood in your language, use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: “flowers of grass. Grass dried up, and flowers fell off”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἄνθος χόρτου

/the/_flower ˱of˲_grass

Here Peter quotes Isaiah using the possessive form to describe the flower that grows in the grass. If this is not clear in your language, you could use state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the flower that grows in the grass”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ἐξηράνθη ὁ χόρτος

/was/_withered the grass

In this clause the prophet Isaiah continues the comparison between humankind and grass. Just like grass dies quickly, so human beings only live a short time. If this would confuse your readers, you could express this meaning by repeating the simile language from earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: “Like the grass dries up, so do people die after a short time”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

τὸ ἄνθος ἐξέπεσεν

the flower fell_from

In this clause the prophet Isaiah continues the comparison between the glory of humankind and flowers. Just like a flower dies and falls to the ground, so does the beauty of mankind disappear. If this would be misunderstood in your language, you could express this meaning by repeating the simile language from earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: “like the flower that fell off the plant, so does everything that is glorious about humankind come to an end”
