UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

μὴ ἀμέλει

not /be/_neglecting

If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb neglect. Alternate translation: [Cherish] or [Attend to]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῦ ἐν σοὶ χαρίσματος

˱of˲_the in you gift

Paul speaks of Timothy as if he were a container that could hold God’s gift. He means that Timothy has this gift. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the gift that you have]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ ἐν σοὶ χαρίσματος

˱of˲_the in you gift

Here Paul implies that this gift is a specific ability or skill that God had given Timothy for his ministry. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the skill that you have as a gift] or [the gift in you, your special ability]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐδόθη

/was/_given

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: [God gave]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ προφητείας

through prophecy

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of prophecy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [through someone prophesying] or [when a person prophesied about you]

Note 6 topic: translate-symaction

μετὰ ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τοῦ πρεσβυτερίου

with /the/_laying_on ˱of˲_the hands ˱of˲_the council_of_elders

Here Paul is speaking of a ceremony during which the church leaders put their hands on Timothy. When they did that, they were commissioning Timothy to go with Paul and proclaim the gospel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to a comparable action in your culture, or you could explain what this action means. Alternate translation: [with the laying on of the hands of the council of elders to commission you] or [when the council of elders authorized you by laying their hands on you]
