UTN uW Translation Notes:

τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες

this first knowing

Peter uses first here to refer to the degree of importance. It does not to refer to order in time. Alternate translation: [Most importantly, you must understand]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες

this first knowing

Peter is using a statement to give an instruction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate this by translating it as a command. If you do so, it might be helpful to start a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Above all, know this]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

πᾶσα προφητεία Γραφῆς ἰδίας ἐπιλύσεως οὐ γίνεται

any prophecy ˱of˲_Scripture ˱of˲_/its/_own interpretation not /is/_becoming

Here, one’s own interpretation could mean: (1) that the Old Testament prophets did not base any of their prophecies on their own interpretations of what God had said, but only prophesied what God revealed to them. If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of information. Alternate translation: [no prophet interpreted his prophecy according to his own interpretation] (2) that no individual person can interpret scripture on his or her own, but only with the help of the Holy Spirit and the larger community of believers. Alternate translation: [no one is able to explain any prophecy in the Bible through his own ability]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἰδίας ἐπιλύσεως

˱of˲_/its/_own interpretation

The word interpretation is an abstract noun that represents an action. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with a verb. Alternate translation: [no prophet interpreted his prophecy according to what he himself thought]
