UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἀλλὰ τί λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ χρηματισμός?

but what /is/_speaking ˱to˲_him the revelation

Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to get his audience to pay attention to what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “But pay attention to what the divine response says to him!”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

τί λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ χρηματισμός

what /is/_speaking ˱to˲_him the revelation

Here Paul uses this question 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: “what does the divine response say to him in the Scriptures”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τί λέγει & ὁ χρηματισμός?

what /is/_speaking & the revelation

Paul speaks of the divine response as if it were a person who would say something. Paul is referring to God responding. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what does God say in response”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

/is/_speaking

Here Paul uses the present tense verbs 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: “did … say”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτῷ

˱to˲_him

Here, him refers to Elijah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly, as in the UST.

Note 6 topic: translate-symaction

οὐκ ἔκαμψαν γόνυ τῇ Βάαλ

not bowed /the/_knee ¬which ˱to˲_Baal

This action was an expression of worship in this culture. If there is a gesture with similar meaning in your culture, you could consider using it here in your translation, or you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “have not worshiped Baal”
