UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

Σίμων Πέτρος

Simon Peter

In this culture, letter writers would give their own names first, and they would refer to themselves in the third person. If that would be confusing in your language, you could use the first person. If your language has a particular way of introducing the author of a letter, you could also use that. Alternate translation: [I, Simon Peter, am writing this letter] or [From Simon Peter]

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Σίμων Πέτρος

Simon Peter

Simon Peter is the name of a man, a disciple of Jesus. See the information about him in Part 1 of the Introduction to 2 Peter.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

δοῦλος καὶ ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

/a/_slave and ambassador ˱of˲_Jesus Christ

This phrase gives further information about Simon Peter. He describes himself as being both a servant of Jesus Christ and one given the position and authority of being Christ’s apostle.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τοῖς & λαχοῦσιν

˱to˲_the_‹ones› & /having/_obtained

In this culture, after giving their own names, letter writers would then say to whom they were writing, naming those people in the third person. If that would be confusing in your language, you could use the second person. Alternate translation: [to you who have received]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς ἰσότιμον ἡμῖν λαχοῦσιν πίστιν

˱to˲_the_‹ones› equal_valued ˱with˲_us /having/_obtained /a/_faith

That these people have received a faith implies that God has given that faith to them. Alternate translation: [to those to whom God has given a faith equal in value with us]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τοῖς ἰσότιμον & λαχοῦσιν πίστιν

˱to˲_the_‹ones› equal_valued & /having/_obtained /a/_faith

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun faith with a verb, such as “trust” or “believe.” Alternate translation: [to those whom God has made to trust] or [to those whom God has made to believe]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῖν

˱with˲_us

Here, the word us refers to Peter and the other apostles, but not to those to whom he is writing. Alternate translation: [as we apostles have received]

ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ

in /the/_righteousness

The word by indicates the means through which they received the faith. Alternate translation: [by means of the righteousness]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ Σωτῆρος

/the/_righteousness ˱of˲_the God ˱of˲_us and Savior

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract noun righteousness by translating the idea behind it with an adjective such as “righteous” or “right.” Alternate translation: [the righteous acts of our God and Savior] or [the right way of our God and Savior]
