UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here the word For introduces a reason why Timothy should do the things that Paul has commanded him to do in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a command, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “I command those things because” or “Here is why I say those things:”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐγὼ & ἤδη σπένδομαι

I & already /am_being/_poured_out

Here Paul describes himself as if he were the wine that people in his culture would pour on a sacrifice before they offered it to God. He means that he is experiencing the final days of his life, and both these days and his death will honor God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I am nearing the end of my life, which is like being poured out as an offering” or “I honor God as I experience the last days of my life”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγὼ & ἤδη σπένδομαι

I & already /am_being/_poured_out

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 God. Alternate translation: “God is already pouring me out as an offering”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

τῆς ἀναλύσεώς μου

˱of˲_the departure ˱of˲_me

Paul is referring to his death in a polite way by using the phrase my departure. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “when I will pass away” or “of my death”
