UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

Παῦλος, ἀπόστολος

Paul /an/_ambassador

In this culture, letter writers would give their own names first, referring to themselves in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person here. Or if your language has a particular way of introducing the author of a letter, and if it would be helpful to your readers, you could use it here. Alternate translation: [From Paul. I am an apostle]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατ’ ἐπιταγὴν Θεοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

according_to /the/_command ˱of˲_God /the/_Savior ˱of˲_us and /the/_Lord Jesus Christ

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of command, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [as it was commanded by God our Savior and by the Lord Jesus Christ]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν

/the/_Savior ˱of˲_us

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe a Savior who saves us. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [who saves us]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν & ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us & ˱of˲_us

In this letter, Paul uses the words our, “we,” and “us” to refer either to Timothy and himself or else to all believers, which would also include the two of them. So, use the inclusive forms of those words throughout your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῆς ἐλπίδος ἡμῶν

/the/_Lord Jesus Christ the hope ˱of˲_us

Here, our hope refers to the person in whom we have hope. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translations: “of the Lord Jesus Christ, the one in whom we have hope”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

Χριστοῦ τῆς ἐλπίδος ἡμῶν

˱of˲_Christ Christ the hope ˱of˲_us

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hope, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Christ, in whom we hope]
