UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-oathformula

παραγγέλλω σοι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱I˲_/am/_commanding ˱to˲_you before ¬the God

Here Paul puts Timothy under oath; he makes him swear by God and Christ Jesus when he gives him a command. Use a natural way in your language to express an oath. See how you expressed the similar oath formula in 5:21. Alternate translation: [I command you, asking you to swear before God] or [I command you by God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τὰ πάντα

the_‹things› all

Paul is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all living things. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [all living things]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ μαρτυρήσαντος ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πειλάτου τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν

¬the the_‹one› the_‹one› /having/_testified before Pontius (Some words not found in SR-GNT: παραγγέλλω σοι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῳοποιοῦντος τὰ πάντα καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ μαρτυρήσαντος ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν)

Here Paul refers to what happened when Jesus was on trial before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. When Pilate asked Jesus who he was, Jesus told the truth even though it was dangerous to do so. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the one having declared the good confession about who he was when he was being examined by the governor, Pontius Pilate]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν

the good confession

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of confession, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the good things about himself] or [the truth]
