OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 15:25

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ λόγος

the word

Here, Jesus uses word to refer to a specific prophecy in the Old Testament. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the prophecy”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτῶν γεγραμμένος

the word ¬which in the law ˱of˲_them /having_been/_written

Here Jesus uses the word that is written to introduce a quotation from an Old Testament book (Psalm 35:19 or 69:4). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that John is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “the statement that has been written in their scriptures”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πληρωθῇ ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτῶν γεγραμμένος

/may_be/_fulfilled the word ¬which in the law ˱of˲_them /having_been/_written

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “they might fulfill the word that a prophet wrote in their law”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τῷ νόμῳ

the law

Jesus is using the name of the first part of the Hebrew Scriptures, the law, to represent the entire Hebrew Scriptures in general. See how you translated a similar expression in 10:34.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

ἐμίσησάν με δωρεάν

˱they˲_hated me undeservedly

This sentence is a quotation from Psalm 35:19 or 69:4. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.
