OET interlinear 1COR 10:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

γὰρ

for

In Paul’s culture, For a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book titled “Psalms” (See: Psalm 24:1). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “For it can be read in the Old Testament,” or “For it says in the book of Psalms,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

τοῦ Κυρίου γὰρ ἡ γῆ, καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς

˱of˲_the Lord for the earth_‹is› and the fullness ˱of˲_it

If you do not use this form in your language, you could translate these statements as indirect quotes instead of as direct quotes. Alternate translation: “For it says that the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

τοῦ Κυρίου & ἡ γῆ, καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς

˱of˲_the Lord & the earth_‹is› and the fullness ˱of˲_it

Here, the passage that Paul quotes includes a second thing that is the Lord’s after the earth. In the author’s culture, this was good poetic style. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put the earth and the fullness of it together. Alternate translation: “the earth and the fullness of it are the Lord’s”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς

and the fullness ˱of˲_it

Here Paul omits some words that may be required in your language to make a full sentence. You could supply words from the first half of the verse to complete the thought. Alternate translation: “and the fullness of it is also the Lord’s”

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς

the fullness ˱of˲_it

Here, fullness refers to everything that is connected with the earth, including people, animals, natural resources, and anything else that goes with the earth. Use a natural way to refer to everything connected with the earth in your language. Alternate translation: “everything in it”
