UST Now unbelieving Jews not only killed the prophets long ago, but they also recently killed the Lord Jesus and forced us to leave your city. These unbelieving Jews also persecuted the believers who live in the region of Judea. In fact, fellow believers, you have become like these groups of believers in Judea whom God has united to Jesus the Messiah. That is because people from your own country persecute you, just as the unbelieving Jews persecuted the believers in Judea. These unbelieving Jews do not please God, and they act against most people.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces proof of how God’s message is working among the Thessalonians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces proof or support for a claim. Alternate translation: [We know it is working in you because] or [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱of˲_the assemblies ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe churches that belong to God. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea without using the possessive form. Alternate translation: [of the churches that belong to God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

in in Christ Jesus

Here Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ Jesus to describe the union of believers with Christ Jesus. In this case, being in Christ Jesus, or united to Christ, explains that churches are truly believers and have a relationship with Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that these believers are united to Christ. Alternate translation: [and that are united to Christ Jesus] or [and that are in union with Christ Jesus]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

τὰ αὐτὰ ἐπάθετε, καὶ ὑμεῖς ὑπὸ τῶν ἰδίων συμφυλετῶν, καθὼς καὶ αὐτοὶ ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων

the same_‹things› ˱you_all˲_suffered also you_all by your own fellow-countrymen as also they_‹did› by the Jews

Here, the phrase the same things points to the phrase just as they also from the Jews. Paul means that the Thessalonians and the believers in Judea experienced the same kind of suffering and persecution. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. You may need to rearrange the end of the verse to do so. Alternate translation: [you also suffered from your own countrymen exactly what they also suffered from the Jews] or [whatever they also suffered from the Jews you also suffered from your own countrymen]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῶν ἰδίων συμφυλετῶν

˱of˲_the ¬which your own fellow-countrymen

Although the term countrymen is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [others from your own country] or [people who live in your city]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ αὐτοὶ ὑπὸ

also also they_‹did› by

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [they also suffered these things from]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν Ἰουδαίων

˱of˲_the ¬which your the Jews

Here Paul is referring to Jewish people who did not believe in Jesus and who persecuted those who did believe in Jesus. He is not referring to Jewish people in general, since the churches of God that are in Judea were mostly Jewish people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it more explicit that Paul is speaking about Jews who did not believe and who persecuted other Jewish people who did believe. Alternate translation: [the Jews who did not believe in Jesus] or [the Jews who opposed Jesus]
