UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces what some people desire in contrast to those who are satisfied (see [6:8](../06/08.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [On the other hand,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐμπίπτουσιν εἰς πειρασμὸν, καὶ παγίδα, καὶ ἐπιθυμίας πολλὰς ἀνοήτους καὶ βλαβεράς

˓are˒_falling_in into temptation and ˓a˒_snare and desires many foolish and harmful

Here Paul speaks as if temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires were holes that people could fall into. He means that these people will experience these things and be unable to escape from them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [experience temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires] or [will not be able to escape being tempted and being trapped and desiring foolish and harmful things]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς πειρασμὸν, καὶ

into temptation and

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of temptation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [into being tempted and into]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παγίδα

˓a˒_snare

Here Paul speaks of how these people are not free to do whatever they want as if they had fallen into a trap. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar figure of speech in [3:7](../03/07.md). Alternate translation: [something like a trap] or [a lack of freedom]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) καὶ

and

Here, the word and could introduce: (1) a third thing that these people fall into. Alternate translation: [and also] (2) a definition of the trap. Alternate translation: [that is]

αἵτινες βυθίζουσι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ ἀπώλειαν

which ˓are˒_sinking ¬the people into destruction and destruction

Here Paul speaks as if these people’s desires would sink or drown them in ruin and destruction. He means that these desires will lead to complete ruin and destruction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [whatever overwhelms men with ruin and destruction] or [whatever causes men to experience ruin and destruction]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπους

people

Although the term men 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: [men and women]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ ἀπώλειαν

into into destruction and destruction

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of ruin and destruction, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [so that they are ruined and destroyed]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὄλεθρον καὶ ἀπώλειαν

destruction and destruction

The terms ruin and destruction mean similar things. Paul is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [complete destruction] or [total ruin]
