UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡ τιμὴ

the value

Here, the honor refers to the statement in the previous verse that people who believe in Jesus will “certainly not be ashamed.” If this might confuse your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: [this honor of never being ashamed is]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡ τιμὴ

the value

The phrase translated the honor could also be translated as “precious,” in which case it would refer to the “cornerstone” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [he is precious]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀπιστοῦσιν δὲ

˱to˲_disbelieving_‹ones› but

Peter is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [But to those who do not believe, God says in the scriptures]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

λίθος ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας

/the/_stone which rejected the_‹ones› building this /was/_become to /the/_head ˱of˲_/the/_corner

This sentence is a quotation from Psalm 118:22. 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 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

λίθος ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες

/the/_stone which rejected the_‹ones› building

The author uses stone to refer to the Messiah, and he uses builders to refer to those who rejected Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: [The Messiah who was rejected just like builders reject a stone]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κεφαλὴν γωνίας

/the/_head ˱of˲_/the/_corner

This phrase has the same meaning as “cornerstone” in the previous verse. It refers to the most important stone in a building. Here it refers specifically to the Messiah. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the Messiah, who is like a cornerstone]
