Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
9:26 If that had been necessary: The author makes an argument using reductio ad absurdum (reduction to absurdity), logically showing that Christ’s one-time sacrifice must be permanently effective. Since Christ himself is the sacrifice as well as the high priest, if his offering were made every year as with the earthly high priests, he would have to die again and again. But of course this is absurd; so, clearly, Christ died once for all time . . . to remove sin.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἐπεὶ ἔδει
otherwise ˱it˲_/was/_fitting
Here the author does not directly state the basis for his inference (since). Instead, he implies that it is a positive version of the negative statement “not in order to offer himself many times” in 9:25. In other words, the point is that Christ could not make an offering many times, since then it would be necessary for him to suffer many times. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include some of the implied words to make the idea clearer. Alternate translation: “since if he had offered himself many times, it would have been necessary for” or “since otherwise it would have been necessary for”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτὸν
him
Here, the word him refers to Jesus. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Jesus” or “Christ”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
παθεῖν
/to/_suffer
Here the author uses the word suffer to refer to everything painful that Jesus experienced, but he is especially focusing on Jesus’ death on the cross. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea explicitly. Alternate translation: “to suffer and die” or “to be crucified”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
νυνὶ δὲ
now but
Here, the phrase But now could introduce (1) a contrast to the hypothetical situation the author offered in the first half of the verse. In this case, the word now does not refer to time but identifies what is actually true. See the similar construction in 8:6, which contrasts with the hypothetical situation in 8:4. Alternate translation: “In reality, though,” or “As it really is,” (2) a contrast with the hypothetical situation earlier in the verse and between the past (what the priests did) and the present (now). In this case, the word now does refer to time. Alternate translation: “But in the present”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
πεφανέρωται
˱he˲_/has_been/_revealed
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. The author uses the passive form here to focus on Jesu, who has been revealed rather than on the person doing the revealing. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that Jesus himself did it. Alternate translation: “he has revealed himself”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πεφανέρωται
˱he˲_/has_been/_revealed
Here, the phrase he has been revealed could refer to: (1) Jesus being “made visible” in the heavenly sanctuary (9:24). Alternate translation: “he has appeared in heaven” (2) Jesus’ “appearance” on earth when he became human and died. Alternate translation: “he has appeared on earth”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐπὶ συντελείᾳ τῶν αἰώνων
in /the/_completion ˱of˲_the ages
Here, the phrase the end of the ages refers to the last period in the history of the world, which began when Jesus lived, died, and came alive again. It also means that this last period has been the goal of all the previous events. Alternate translation: “in this last period in the history of the world”
