UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

See how you translated this phrase in 1:17.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

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. If you must state who did the action, the quotation is a paraphrase of Isaiah 29:10 and Deuteronomy 29:4. Alternate translation: “just as God stated”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς πνεῦμα κατανύξεως, ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν, καὶ ὦτα τοῦ μὴ ἀκούειν, ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

gave ˱to˲_them ¬the God /a/_spirit ˱of˲_stupor eyes ¬which not /to_be/_seeing and ears ¬which not /to_be/_hearing to the today day

In these clauses Paul paraphrases Isaiah 29:10 and Deuteronomy 29:4. 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 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

πνεῦμα κατανύξεως

/a/_spirit ˱of˲_stupor

Paul is using the possessive form to describe a spirit that is characterized by dullness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “a dull spirit”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πνεῦμα κατανύξεως

/a/_spirit ˱of˲_stupor

Here, spirit refers to a person’s attitude or manner of thinking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “an attitude of dullness”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν, καὶ ὦτα τοῦ μὴ ἀκούειν

eyes ¬which not /to_be/_seeing and ears ¬which not /to_be/_hearing

Paul quotes Moses using eyes not to see and ears not to hear to refer to being unable to understand something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “being unable to perceive and unable to comprehend”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν, καὶ ὦτα τοῦ μὴ ἀκούειν

eyes ¬which not /to_be/_seeing and ears ¬which not /to_be/_hearing

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that the people of Israel were completely unable to understand how to become righteous. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “being completely unable to comprehend”
