UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

λανθάνει γὰρ αὐτοὺς τοῦτο, θέλοντας

˓is˒_escaping_notice for them this willing

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: [For they willingly hide this from themselves]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

θέλοντας ὅτι οὐρανοὶ ἦσαν ἔκπαλαι

willing that ˓the˒_heavens were anciently

Peter is leaving out some of the words that this clause would need in many languages in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from the end of the verse. Alternate translation: [that the heavens existed long ago by the word of God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γῆ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ δι’ ὕδατος συνεστῶσα τῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ λόγῳ

˓the˒_earth out_of water and through water ˓having˒_consisted ˱by˲_the ¬the ˱of˲_God word

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: [the word of God formed the earth out of water and through water]

ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ δι’ ὕδατος συνεστῶσα

out_of water and through water ˓having˒_consisted

This clause refers to God causing the land to come up out of and through the water, gathering the bodies of water together to make the land appear.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ λόγῳ

˱by˲_the ¬the ˱of˲_God word

Here, the word of God refers to the God’s specific commands by which the earth was created. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: [by the commands of God]
