Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

εὐλογητὸς

blessed_‹is›

Peter is using a statement to give an exhortation. If this is confusing in your language, you can use a more natural form for exhortation. Alternate translation: [Let us bless] or [Let us praise]

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατὴρ

Father

Father is an important title for God.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν & ἡμᾶς

˱of˲_us & us

The words our and us are inclusive. They refer to Peter and those believers to whom he is writing. Your language may require you to mark these forms.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν

˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us

Peter is using the possessive form to describe Jesus as the Lord who rules over those who believe in him. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [of the person who is lord over us,] or [of the person who rules over us,]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατὰ τὸ πολὺ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος

according_to the great ˱of˲_him mercy

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of mercy, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [according to his great merciful character]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀναγεννήσας ἡμᾶς

/having/_born_again us

The phrase born again is a metaphor that refers to spiritual rebirth. Since this is an important metaphor in the Bible, you should keep it in your translation and include an explanation if necessary. Alternate translation: [who … has caused us to be spiritually reborn]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἀναγεννήσας ἡμᾶς εἰς ἐλπίδα ζῶσαν, δι’ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐκ νεκρῶν

/having/_born_again us to /a/_hope living through /the/_resurrection ˱of˲_Jesus Christ from /the/_dead

The clause into a living hope is parallel to “into an imperishable and undefiled and unfading inheritance” in the next verse. If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of the phrases in this verse in order to show that parallel structure. Alternate translation: [who … has caused us to be born again through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from dead ones into a living hope]

Note 8 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

εἰς ἐλπίδα ζῶσαν

to /a/_hope living

Here, into introduces a purpose clause. Peter is stating a purpose for which God causes believers to be born again. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation: [for the purpose of giving us a living hope]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς ἐλπίδα ζῶσαν

to /a/_hope living

Peter uses living to describe hope that is certain and will not lead to disappointment. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [into a hope that will not disappoint you]

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δι’ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐκ νεκρῶν

through /the/_resurrection ˱of˲_Jesus Christ from /the/_dead

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of resurrection, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [through Jesus Christ being resurrected from among dead ones]
