UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει

Isaiah and /is/_daring and /is/_saying

Here Paul uses this phrase to introduce a quotation from an Old Testament book (Isaiah 65:1). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “Isaiah is very bold, and he says in the Scriptures”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει

/is/_daring and /is/_saying

Here Paul uses the present tense verbs is and says to refer to something that happened in the past. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “was very bold, and he said”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἠσαΐας & ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει

Isaiah & /is/_daring and /is/_saying

This phrase means that Isaiah wrote down what God said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Isaiah is very bold, and he wrote down that God said”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

εὑρέθην ἐν τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν; ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν

˱I˲_/was/_found by the_‹ones› me not seeking manifest ˱I˲_became ˱to˲_the_‹ones› me not asking

In these two sentences Paul is quoting Isaiah 65:1 from the Old Testament. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

εὑρέθην & ἐμὲ & ἐμφανὴς & ἐμὲ

˱I˲_/was/_found & me & manifest & me

In this verse the pronoun I refers to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “I, God, was found … me; I, God, appeared … for me”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

εὑρέθην ἐν τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν; ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν

˱I˲_/was/_found by the_‹ones› me not seeking manifest ˱I˲_became ˱to˲_the_‹ones› me not asking

These two clauses mean the same thing. Paul quotes God saying the same thing twice, in slightly different ways, to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “I was revealed to those people who did not even want to know me”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

εὑρέθην & ἐμφανὴς

˱I˲_/was/_found & manifest

Paul quotes God using the past tense in order to refer to something that will certainly happen in the future. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the future tense. Alternate translation: “I will be found … I will appear”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εὑρέθην ἐν τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν

˱I˲_/was/_found by the_‹ones› me not seeking

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Those who were not seeking me found me”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν; ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν

the_‹ones› me not seeking manifest ˱I˲_became ˱to˲_the_‹ones› me not asking

These two clauses refer to non-Jewish people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the non-Jews, who were not seeking me; I appeared to the non-Jews, who were not asking for me”
