OET interlinear 2COR 11:29

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς ἀσθενεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἀσθενῶ?

who /is/_faltering and not ˱I˲_/am/_faltering

Paul is using the question form to show that he is weak when other believers are weak. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “If anyone is weak, I too am weak!” or “I am weak when others are weak!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τίς ἀσθενεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἀσθενῶ

who /is/_faltering and not ˱I˲_/am/_faltering

Here Paul could be indicating that: (1) he sympathizes with people who are weak by becoming weak himself. Alternate translation: “Who is weak, and I do not sympathize by also being weak” (2) when others are weak, it makes Paul weak too. Alternate translation: “Who is weak, and I do not become weak as a result”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς σκανδαλίζεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐγὼ πυροῦμαι?

who who /is_being/_stumbled and not I /am_being/_burned

Paul is using the question form to show that he is inflamed when other believers are caused to stumble. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “If anyone is caused to stumble, I am inflamed!” or “I am inflamed when others are caused to stumble!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τίς σκανδαλίζεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐγὼ πυροῦμαι

who who /is_being/_stumbled and not I /am_being/_burned

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Whom do others cause to stumble, and I do not become inflamed”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σκανδαλίζεται

/is_being/_stumbled

Here Paul speaks of helping or causing another person to sin as if it were making that person stumble. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or plain language. Alternate translation: “is caused to sin” or “is led into sin”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐκ ἐγὼ πυροῦμαι?

not not I /am_being/_burned

Here Paul speaks as if he were like a fire that could become inflamed. He could mean that: (1) he becomes angry in response to people being caused to stumble. Alternate translation: “I do not get angry” or “I do not feel fury” (2) he feels sympathy or shares in the stumbling. Alternate translation: “I do not feel sympathy” or “I am not distressed in response”
