UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, it indicates that what follows in this verse gives further support for what Paul said about the miserable condition of the creation in the previous two verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “In fact,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις συνστενάζει καὶ συνωδίνει

all the creation (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις συστενάζει καὶ συνωδίνει ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν)

Here Paul speaks of the creation as if it were a woman who groans and labors in pain while giving birth to a baby. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “all the creation is like a woman groaning and laboring in pain while giving birth” or “all the creation is suffering greatly together”
