UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

τὸ γὰρ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ δι’ ὑμᾶς βλασφημεῖται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, καθὼς γέγραπται

the for name ¬the ˱of˲_God because_of you_all /is_being/_slandered among the pagans as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “For, just as it is written, ‘the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.’”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

For here indicates that what follows is the reason why the previous statement is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “These things that I have said about you are true because”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

τὸ & ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ δι’ ὑμᾶς βλασφημεῖται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

the & name ¬the ˱of˲_God because_of you_all /is_being/_slandered among the pagans

In this clause Paul quotes part of Isaiah 52:5. 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

τὸ & ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ

the & name ¬the ˱of˲_God

Paul is using the possessive form to indicate the name that belongs to God. Paul does not mean that God is a name. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “God’s name”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τὸ & ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ

the & name ¬the ˱of˲_God

Paul uses the name of God figuratively to refer toGod himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly, as in the UST.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ & ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ δι’ ὑμᾶς βλασφημεῖται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

the & name ¬the ˱of˲_God because_of you_all /is_being/_slandered among the pagans

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: “the Gentiles blaspheme the name of God because of you”

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τὸ & ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ δι’ ὑμᾶς βλασφημεῖται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

the & name ¬the ˱of˲_God because_of you_all /is_being/_slandered among the pagans

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “because of you the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δι’ ὑμᾶς

because_of you_all

Paul quotes Isaiah implying that the bad behavior of the Jews is what causes the Gentiles to blaspheme the name of God. Since the Jews were supposed to represent God to the world, their bad behavior misrepresented God so that the Gentiles blasphemed him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “as a result of how you act” or “because of the way you behave”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

δι’ ὑμᾶς

because_of you_all

Here, you is the plural and refers to the Jewish people. This is the only occurrence of plural you in 2:17–27. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “you Jewish people”

Note 10 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. Since Paul is referring to something Isaiah wrote, you could indicate Isaiah as the subject. Alternate translation: “just as Isaiah wrote”

Note 11 topic: writing-quotations

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

See how you translated this phrase in 1:17.
