UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ταῦτα ὑποτιθέμενος τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς

these_‹things› laying_down ˱to˲_the brothers

Here Paul speaks of his instructions as if they were objects that Timothy would place before other people. He means that Timothy will speak his instructions to these people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Passing these things along to the brothers” or “Teaching these things to the brothers”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, the phrase these things could refer to the instructions that Paul has given in 4:1–5, 3:14–4:5, or to the whole letter so far. Since Paul used a general phrase, if possible you should use a general phrase that could refer to any of these sections. Alternate translation: “what I have said to you” or “these instructions”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς

˱to˲_the brothers

Paul is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the believers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς

˱to˲_the brothers

Although the term brothers is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If you retain the metaphor in your translation, and if it would be helpful in your language, you could say “brothers and sisters” to indicate this.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

καλὸς & διάκονος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ

good & /a/_servant ˱of˲_Christ Jesus

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe a servant who could: (1) serve Christ Jesus. Alternate translation: “a good servant who obeys Christ Jesus” (2) have been appointed by Christ Jesus to serve others. Alternate translation: “a good servant appointed by Christ Jesus”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐντρεφόμενος τοῖς λόγοις τῆς πίστεως, καὶ τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας ᾗ παρηκολούθηκας

/being/_nourished ˱in˲_the words ˱of˲_the faith and ˱of˲_the good teaching ˱with˲_which ˱you˲_/have/_followed

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. Alternate translation: “the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed nourishing you”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐντρεφόμενος

/being/_nourished

Here, the phrase being nourished could introduce: (1) a description of a good servant. Alternate translation: “one who is nourished” (2) another condition for being a good servant. Alternate translation: “if you are nourished” (3) the result of being a good servant. Alternate translation: “and so you will be nourished” or “with the result that you will be nourished”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐντρεφόμενος

/being/_nourished

Here Paul speaks as if the words of the faith and of the good teaching were food that nourished Timothy. He means that these words train Timothy and make him stronger spiritually. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “as if being nourished” or “being strengthened spiritually” or “being trained”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοῖς λόγοις τῆς πίστεως, καὶ τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας

˱to˲_the ˱in˲_the words ˱of˲_the faith and ˱of˲_the good teaching

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe words that could: (1) be those in which believers have faith and that contain the good teaching. Alternate translation: “by the words in which we have faith and that contain the good teaching” (2) contain the good news in which believers have faith and the good teaching. Alternate translation: “by the words that contain the Christian faith and the good teaching”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς πίστεως, καὶ

˱of˲_the faith and

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Make sure that your translation fits with the option you chose in the previous note. Alternate translation: “that we have believed, the words” or “that you trust, the words”

Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας ᾗ παρηκολούθηκας

˱of˲_the ˱of˲_the good teaching ˱with˲_which ˱you˲_/have/_followed

Here Paul is further describing the good teaching. He is not distinguishing between some good teaching that Timothy has followed and some that he has not followed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different form that describes something rather than distinguishes between things. Alternate translation: “of the good teaching, which you have followed” or “of the good teaching. You have followed that good teaching”
