UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces a further development concerning how Melchizedek blessed Abraham. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces further development, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Concerning blessings,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ ἔλαττον ὑπὸ τοῦ κρείττονος εὐλογεῖται

the lessor by the better /is_being/_blessed

The author assumes that his audience would apply this general principle to what he has said about Melchizedek blessing Abraham. If your readers would not naturally make this application, you could make it explicit. Alternate translation: “the lesser, in this case Abraham, is blessed by the greater, in this case Melchizedek”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ ἔλαττον ὑπὸ τοῦ κρείττονος εὐλογεῖται

the lessor by the better /is_being/_blessed

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: “the greater blesses the lesser”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τὸ ἔλαττον & τοῦ κρείττονος

the lessor & the better

The author is using the adjectives lesser and greater as nouns in order to refer to people who are lesser and greater. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these with noun phrases. Alternate translation: “a lesser person … a greater person”
