UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καινοὺς & οὐρανοὺς καὶ γῆν καινὴν, κατὰ τὸ ἐπάγγελμα αὐτοῦ προσδοκῶμεν

˱for˲_new & heavens and earth /a/_new according_to the promise ˱of˲_him ˱we˲_/are/_waiting

Peter put the direct object of the main verb at the front of this sentence for emphasis. If your language uses a similar construction for emphasis, it would be appropriate to have it here in your translation. But if this construction would be confusing in your language, you could express this emphasis in another way and change the structure of the sentence. Alternate translation: “according to his promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

κατὰ τὸ ἐπάγγελμα αὐτοῦ

according_to the promise ˱of˲_him

Here, the pronoun his could refer to: (1) God. Alternate translation: “according to God’s promise” (2) Jesus. Alternate translation: “according to Jesus’ promise”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐν οἷς δικαιοσύνη κατοικεῖ

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν οἷς δικαιοσύνη κατοικεῖ

in which righteousness /is/_dwelling
