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 / abstractnouns

ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ ἄρξασθαι τὸ κρίμα ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ

the time_‹it_is› ¬which /to/_begin the judgment from the house ¬the ˱of˲_God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [it is time for God to begin judging the household of God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ

¬which the house ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here Peter uses household to refer to all believers as if they were a family that belongs to God. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [those who belong to God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

εἰ δὲ πρῶτον ἀφ’ ἡμῶν

if and first from us

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 previous clause. Alternate translation: [but if it is time for judgment to begin first with us]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἀφ’ ἡμῶν

from us

When Peter says us, he is speaking of himself and his readers, so us would be inclusive. Your language may require you to mark these forms.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί τὸ τέλος τῶν ἀπειθούντων τῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ εὐαγγελίῳ?

what_‹will_be› the outcome ˱of˲_the_‹ones› disbelieving ˱in˲_the ¬the ˱of˲_God gospel

Peter is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize that God’s judgment will be more severe for people who reject the gospel than for those who believe it. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [how terrible will be the end of the ones disobeying the gospel of God!]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ τέλος

the the outcome

Here, end refers to the final result of the lives of people who do not believe in Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [the final result] or [the outcome]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν ἀπειθούντων

˱of˲_the_‹ones› disbelieving

Here, disobeying refers to disobeying the command to repent and believe the gospel, which is part of the gospel message. See how you translated a similar phrase in 2:8. Alternate translation: [of the ones refusing to believe]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ εὐαγγελίῳ

˱in˲_the ¬the ˱of˲_God gospel

Here, the gospel of God could refer to: (1) the gospel that came from God. Alternate translation: [the gospel from God] (2) the gospel that is about God. Alternate translation: [the gospel about God]
