UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δι’ ἣν αἰτίαν

for which cause

Here the phrase which reason refers back to the fact of Timothy’s sincere faith (see 1:5). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [Because of your sincere faith]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀναζωπυρεῖν τὸ χάρισμα

/to_be/_rekindling the gift

Here Paul speaks of Timothy’s gift as if it were a fire that he needed to rekindle. He could mean that: (1) Timothy needs to use his gift more than he has in the past. Alternate translation: [to make even more use of the gift] (2) Timothy needs to start using his gift again, with the implication being that he has stopped using it consistently. Alternate translation: [to be eager once more to use the gift]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ χάρισμα τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν σοὶ

the gift ¬the ˱of˲_God which is in you

Paul speaks of Timothy as if he were a container that could hold the gift of God. He means that Timothy has this gift. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the gift of God that you have]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ χάρισμα τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν σοὶ

the gift ¬the ˱of˲_God which is in you

Here Paul implies that this gift is a specific ability or skill that God had given Timothy for his ministry. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the skill that you have as a gift from God] or [the gift of God in you, your special ability,]

Note 5 topic: translate-symaction

διὰ τῆς ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν μου

by the laying_on ˱of˲_the hands ˱of˲_me

Here Paul is speaking of a ceremony during which he put his hands on Timothy. When he did that, he was commissioning Timothy to use his gift and to proclaim the gospel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to a comparable action in your culture, or you could explain what this action means. Alternate translation: [through the laying on of my hands to commission you] or [once I authorized you by laying my hands on you]
