ClVg qui increduli fuerant aliquando, quando exspectabant Dei patientiam in diebus Noë, cum fabricaretur arca: in qua pauci, id est octo animæ, salvæ factæ sunt per aquam.[fn]

3.20 Quando exspectabant Dei patientiam. Cum patientia Dei invitaret illos ad pœnitentiam, parcens illis per centum annos quibus Nœ ædificabat arcam, per quam ostendebatur quid futurum esset in mundo. Ipsi ergo non utebantur patientia Dei ad pœnitentiam, sed exspectabant eam quasi esset duratura semper. Nœ. Nœ interpretatur requies, et significat Christum qui dat suis fidelibus requiem animarum. Cum fabricaretur arca. BEDA. Sicut arca fabricata est de lignis levigatis, sic Ecclesia de collectione fidelium animarum: et sicut pereunte mundo pauci salvi facti sunt per aquam: sic ad comparationem pereuntium parvus est electorum numerus, quia angusta est via quæ ducit ad vitam, et pauci sunt qui inveniunt eam.
3.20 When exspectabant of_God patience/endurancem. Since patience/endurance of_God invitaret those to repentance, parcens to_them through hundred years to_whom Nœ ædificabat the_box, through how showbatur what future was in/into/on mundo. Himself therefore not/no utebantur patience/endurance of_God to repentance, but exspectabant her as_if was duratura always. Nœ. Nœ interprets rest/repose, and means Christum who dat to_his_own fidelibus rest/repose animarum. Since fabricaretur box. BEDA. Like box fabricata it_is from/about wood levigatis, so Assembly/Church from/about collectione faithful animarum: and like pereunte mundo a_few be_saved made are through water: so to comparationem pereuntium parvus it_is electorum number, because angusta it_is way/road which ducit to life, and a_few are who I_foundunt her.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀπειθήσασίν
˱to˲_˓having˒_disbelieved_‹ones›
Peter is leaving out a word that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply the word from the context. Alternate translation: [having disobeyed God]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἡ τοῦ Θεοῦ μακροθυμία
the ¬the ˱of˲_God patience
Peter uses patience of God to refer to God himself. If your readers would not understand this, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [God himself]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν ἡμέραις Νῶε
in ˓the˒_days ˱of˲_Noah
Here Peter uses days of Noah to refer to the time period when Noah was alive. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in the time of Noah]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
κατασκευαζομένης κιβωτοῦ
˓being˒_prepared ˓the˒_ark
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [when Noah was constructing an ark]
