UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας

night and day

Here, the phrase night and day indicates that Paul and his fellow workers were pleading earnestly during both the day and the night. This means that they were pleading earnestly very often every day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [all the time] or [always]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπέρἐκπερισσοῦ δεόμενοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ δεόμενοι εἰς τὸ ἰδεῖν ὑμῶν τὸ πρόσωπον καὶ καταρτίσαι τὰ ὑστερήματα τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν)

Here Paul implies that he and his fellow workers pray to God when they are pleading. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [pleading earnestly with God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς τὸ ἰδεῖν ὑμῶν τὸ πρόσωπον

in_order that /to/_see ˱of˲_you_all the face

The phrase to see your face refers to visiting someone and being with them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to visit you] or [to spend time with you]

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

ὑμῶν τὸ πρόσωπον

˱of˲_you_all the face

Here Paul speaks as if the Thessalonians together had one face, but he is referring to each of their faces. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your faces]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καταρτίσαι τὰ ὑστερήματα τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν

/to/_prepare the lacking_‹things› ˱in˲_the faith ˱of˲_you_all

Here Paul could be implying that the Thessalonians are lacking: (1) knowledge about God that should be included in their faith. Alternate translation: [to teach you more about your faith] (2) some aspects of faith in God. Alternate translation: [to enable you to have faith completely]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν

˱in˲_the faith ˱of˲_you_all

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in what you believe]
