Alternate translation: “But, as recorded in the Scriptures, Isaiah cries out concerning Israel”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

κράζει

/is/_crying_out

Here Paul uses the present tense verb cries out to refer to something that happened in the past. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “cried out”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Ἰσραήλ

Israel

Here, Israel refers to the Israelites. They are the descendants of Jacob, whom God also called Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Israelites” or “the descendants of Israel”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης,

as the sand ˱of˲_the sea

Paul quotes Isaiah leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from earlier in the sentence. Alternate translation: “as the number of the grains of sand of the sea”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης

as the sand ˱of˲_the sea

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης

the sand ˱of˲_the sea

Paul quotes Isaiah using the possessive form to describe the sand that is next to the sea. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “the sand by the sea”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸ ὑπόλειμμα
