UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

Τιμοθέῳ

˱to˲_Timothy

In this culture, after giving their own names, letter writers would name those to whom they sent the letter, referring to them in the third person. If that is confusing in your language, you could use the second person here. Or if your language has a particular way of introducing the recipient of a letter, and if it would be helpful to your readers, you could use it here. Alternate translation: “This letter is for you, Timothy”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀγαπητῷ τέκνῳ

beloved child

Paul speaks of his close relationship to Timothy as though Timothy were his beloved child. Paul means that he is Timothy’s spiritual father, and Paul loves Timothy in the way a father loves his child. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who is like a beloved child to me” or “a beloved spiritual son”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀγαπητῷ τέκνῳ

beloved child

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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Paul. Alternate translation: “child whom I love”

Note 4 topic: translate-blessing

χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη, ἀπὸ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν

grace mercy peace from God /the/_Father and Christ Jesus the Lord ˱of˲_us

After stating his name and the name of the person to whom he is writing, Paul adds a blessing for Timothy. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: “May you experience grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord” or “I pray that grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord will always be with you”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη

grace mercy peace

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of Grace, mercy, and peace, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “May you be treated graciously, mercifully, and peacefully by God the Father and by Christ Jesus our Lord”

Note 6 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Θεοῦ Πατρὸς

God /the/_Father

Father is an important title for God the Father that describes his relationship with Jesus, his Son.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us

In this letter, Paul uses the words our, “we,” and “us” to refer either to Timothy and himself or else to all believers, which would also include the two of them. So, use the inclusive forms of those words throughout your translation if your language marks that distinction.
