UTN uW Translation Notes:

General Information:

In this verse Peter first instructs younger men specifically and then continues to instruct all of the believers.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὑποτάγητε

/be/_subjected

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: “subject yourselves”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πρεσβυτέροις

˱to˲_/your/_elders

See how you translated elders in 5:1.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντες

all

Here, everyone refers to all the believers to whom Peter is writing this letter, and not to all people. If this might confuse your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: “every one of you believers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην ἐγκομβώσασθε

¬the humility tie_in

Peter speaks of humility as if it were a piece of clothing that a person could put on. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “act with humility”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην

¬the humility

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of humility, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “with humble actions”

Note 6 topic: writing-quotations

ὅτι

because

Here, for introduces a quotation from the Old Testament (Proverbs 3:34). 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: “for it is as Solomon wrote in the Scriptures”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

ὁ Θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν

¬The God ˱against˲_/the/_proud /is/_opposing ˱to˲_/the/_humble_‹ones› but /is/_giving grace

This sentence is a quotation from Proverbs 3:34. 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 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δίδωσιν χάριν

/is/_giving grace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “acts graciously”
