UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

λίθου τιμίου

˱of˲_stone precious

See how you translated the term precious stone in 17:4. Alternate translation: “gemstones”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

βυσσίνου, καὶ πορφύρας, καὶ σιρικοῦ, καὶ κοκκίνου

˱of˲_linen and ˱of˲_purple and ˱of˲_silk and ˱of˲_scarlet

See how you translated fine linen, the term for an expensive cloth made from flax, in 15:6; purple cloth is a dark red-blue cloth that was very expensive at this time; silk is a soft, strong cloth made from the fine string that silkworms make when they form their cocoons; scarlet cloth was an expensive red cloth. If some or all of these terms might be unfamiliar to your readers, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “many kinds of expensive cloth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον, καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐλεφάντινον, καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐκ ξύλου τιμιωτάτου, καὶ χαλκοῦ, καὶ σιδήρου, καὶ μαρμάρου

all wood citron and every object ivory and every object of wood most_precious and ˱of˲_bronze and ˱of˲_iron and ˱of˲_marble

John says every in these cases as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “many kinds of fragrant wood and many kinds of ivory vessels and many kinds of vessels made from precious wood and bronze and iron and marble”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον

all wood citron

The wood of the citron tree is desirable because it is fragrant. If your readers would not be familiar with citron wood, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “every fragrant wood”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον

all wood citron

Since there is only one kind of citron tree, by every citron wood, John means by association many kinds of wood that are fragrant like citron wood. Alternate translation: “every fragrant wood”

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown

σκεῦος ἐλεφάντινον

object ivory

The word ivory describes a beautiful, hard, white material that people get from the tusks or teeth of very large animals such as elephants and walruses. Alternate translation: “beautiful containers made from tusks” or “containers made from valuable animal teeth”

Note 7 topic: translate-unknown

μαρμάρου

˱of˲_marble

The word marble describes a beautiful, valuable stone that people use in buildings and to make statues, furniture, and many other things. If your readers might not be familiar with marble, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “beautiful stone”
