OET interlinear 1COR 15:41

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence -1) ἄλλη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄλλη δόξα ἡλίου καὶ ἄλλη δόξα σελήνης καὶ ἄλλη δόξα ἀστέρων ἀστὴρ γὰρ ἀστέρος διαφέρει ἐν δόξῃ)

Here, just as in 15:40, Paul is distinguishing between different kinds of glory. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea explicitly. Alternate translation: “There is one kind of … another kind of … another kind of” or “There is one type of … another type of … another type of”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἄλλη δόξα ἡλίου, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα σελήνης, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα ἀστέρων & ἐν δόξῃ

another glory ˱of˲_/the/_sun and another glory ˱of˲_/the/_moon and another glory ˱of˲_/the/_stars & in glory

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind glory, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “glorious” or “splendorous.” Alternate translation: “The sun is splendorous in one way, and the moon is splendorous in another way, and the stars are splendorous in another way … in how glorious they are”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἄλλη δόξα ἡλίου, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα σελήνης, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα ἀστέρων

another glory ˱of˲_/the/_sun and another glory ˱of˲_/the/_moon and another glory ˱of˲_/the/_stars

Here Paul repeats glory of and the same structure in three consecutive clauses. This was worded powerfully in his culture, and it emphasizes the distinctions between the different kinds of glory. If it would be helpful in your language, and if it would not be worded powerfully in your culture, you could indicate why Paul repeats words and structure by eliminate some or all of the repetition and by making the statements powerful in another way. Alternate translation: “The sun, moon, and stars have varying kinds of glory”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, For introduces a further explanation of the glory of the stars. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express For with a word or phrase that introduces an explanation or clarification. Alternate translation: “Indeed,” or “As a matter of fact,”

ἀστὴρ & ἀστέρος διαφέρει ἐν δόξῃ

star & ˱by˲_star /is/_carrying_value in glory

Alternate translation: “some stars have different kinds of glory than other stars” or “the stars themselves differ in glory”
