UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τετύφωται

˱he˲_/has_been/_conceited

Although the term he is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [that person is puffed up] or [he or she is puffed up]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τετύφωται

˱he˲_/has_been/_conceited

Here Paul speaks of becoming prideful as if it were being puffed up by air. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the idea in 3:6. Alternate translation: [he is conceited]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τετύφωται

˱he˲_/has_been/_conceited

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: [he puffs himself up]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

μηδὲν ἐπιστάμενος

nothing knowing

Paul says nothing 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: [understanding almost nothing] or [having basically no understanding]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

νοσῶν περὶ

obsessing about

Here Paul speaks as if these false teachers were sick and as if their illnesses were controversies and word battles. He means that they are constantly participating in these controversies and word battles, but those things are bad for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [being like people who are sick with] or [constantly seeking out]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ζητήσεις καὶ λογομαχίας

debates and quibbles_about_words

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of controversies, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [debating and battling about words]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

λογομαχίας

quibbles_about_words

Here Paul refers to arguments about what words mean as if they were battles. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [disputes about words]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

γίνεται φθόνος, ἔρις, βλασφημίαι, ὑπόνοιαι πονηραί & διαπαρατριβαὶ & ἀνθρώπων

If your language does not use abstract nouns for some or all of the ideas in this list, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [people become envious, quarrelsome, blasphemous, suspicious in evil ways, annoying each other as men]
