UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοῖς πλουσίοις

˱to˲_the rich

Paul is using the adjective rich as a noun to mean rich people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are rich”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι

in the present age

Here, the phrase the present age refers to the time period in which Paul and Timothy lived, the time period before Jesus comes back and God transforms everything. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “during the current time period” or “in this time before Jesus returns”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

πλούτου ἀδηλότητι

˱of˲_riches /the/_uncertainty

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe riches that are characterized by uncertainty. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “uncertain riches” or “riches, which are characterized by uncertainty”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πλούτου ἀδηλότητι

˱of˲_riches /the/_uncertainty

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of uncertainty, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translations: “riches, which are so uncertain” or “riches, which a person can lose so easily”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλ’ ἐπὶ Θεῷ

but in God

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but to hope in God”

Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants

Θεῷ

God

Many ancient manuscripts read God. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “the living God.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντα

all_‹things›

Paul says all here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “very many things”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν

for enjoyment

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of enjoyment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to be enjoyed”
