Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὰς ὀφειλάς
the obligations
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of obligations, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what you are obligated to pay”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
τῷ τὸν φόρον, τὸν φόρον; τῷ τὸ τέλος, τὸ τέλος; τῷ τὸν φόβον, τὸν φόβον; τῷ τὴν τιμὴν, τὴν τιμήν
˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the tax ¬the tax ˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the revenue ¬the revenue ˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the respect ¬the respect ˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the honor ¬the honor
Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “pay tax to whom tax is due, pay toll to whom toll is due, show fear to whom fear is due, show honor to him to whom honor is due”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
τῷ τὸν φόρον, τὸν φόρον; τῷ τὸ τέλος, τὸ τέλος
˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the tax ¬the tax ˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the revenue ¬the revenue
Paul is speaking of taxes and tolls in general, not of one particular tax and toll. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: “taxes to whom taxes, tolls to whom tolls”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
τῷ τὸ τέλος, τὸ τέλος
˱to˲_the_‹one› ˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the revenue ¬the revenue
The word toll refers to a specific kind of tax that must be paid in addition to regular taxes. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of tax, you could use a general expression for additional taxes. Alternate translation: “government fees to whom government fees” or “revenues to whom revenues”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῷ τὸν φόβον, τὸν φόβον; τῷ τὴν τιμὴν, τὴν τιμήν
˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the ˱to˲_the_‹one› ˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the respect ¬the respect ˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the honor ¬the honor
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of fear and honor, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “fear to whomever should be feared, honor to whomever should be honored”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῷ τὸν φόβον, τὸν φόβον; τῷ τὴν τιμὴν, τὴν τιμήν
˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the ˱to˲_the_‹one› ˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the respect ¬the respect ˱to˲_the_‹one› ¬the honor ¬the honor
Here Paul refers to fearing and honoring those who deserve to be feared and honored as if someone is paying them fear and honor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “fear those who should be feared, honor those who should be honored” or “respect those whom you ought to respect, honor those whom you ought to honor”
