OET interlinear 1COR 11:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ ποτήριον

the cup

Here the Corinthians would have understood cup to refer to the drink inside the cup, which in Paul’s culture would have been wine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express cup by more explicitly referring to what would be in the cup. Alternate translation: “what is in this cup” or “this wine”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸν θάνατον τοῦ Κυρίου

¬the the death ˱of˲_the Lord

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind death, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “die.” Alternate translation: “that the Lord died”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄχρι οὗ ἔλθῃ

until ˱of˲_which ˱he˲_/may/_come

Here, until he would come refers specifically to Jesus “coming back” to earth, an idea Paul has already mentioned in 4:5. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express until he would come with a phrase that more clearly refers to Jesus’ “second coming.” Alternate translation: “until he would come again” or “until he would return”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὁσάκις γὰρ ἐὰν ἐσθίητε τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον, καὶ τὸ ποτήριον πίνητε, τὸν θάνατον τοῦ Κυρίου καταγγέλλετε, ἄχρι οὗ ἔλθῃ.

as_often_as for ¬if ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_eating ¬the bread this and the cup ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_drinking the death ˱of˲_the Lord ˱you_all˲_/are/_proclaiming until ˱of˲_which ˱he˲_/may/_come

Here, until he would come identifies how long believers are supposed to eat this bread and drink this cup. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate until he would come by moving it earlier in the sentence to show what it modifies. Alternate translation: “For until the Lord comes, as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord”
