OET interlinear 2COR 7:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ παρακλήσει ᾗ

by the by the comfort ˱with˲_which

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of comfort, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “by how” or “by what you did so that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

παρεκλήθη ἐφ’ ὑμῖν

˱he˲_/was/_comforted in you_all

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “you comforted him”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἀναγγέλλων

declaring

Here, the word reporting introduces how Paul knows about the comfort that the Corinthians gave to Titus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that naturally introduces how Paul knows about what happened in Corinth. Alternate translation: “since he reported” or “which we heard about when he reported”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ὑμῶν ἐπιπόθησιν, τὸν ὑμῶν ὀδυρμόν, τὸν ὑμῶν ζῆλον ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ

the ˱of˲_you_all longing the ˱of˲_you_all mourning the ˱of˲_you_all zeal for me

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of longing, mourning, and zeal, you could express the ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “how you longed for me, how you mourned, and how you were anxious to do what I asked”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν ὑμῶν ἐπιπόθησιν, τὸν ὑμῶν ὀδυρμόν, τὸν ὑμῶν ζῆλον ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ

the ˱of˲_you_all longing the ˱of˲_you_all mourning the ˱of˲_you_all zeal for me

Here, the phrase for my sake modifies all three items in this list. The Corinthians experience longing to see Paul, they experience mourning because they grieved Paul, and they have zeal for Paul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make these ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: “your longing for me, your mourning concerning me, and your zeal for my sake”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

με & χαρῆναι

˱for˲_me & /to_be/_elated

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that the Corinthians did it. Alternate translation: “you caused me to rejoice” or “what you did caused me to rejoice”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μᾶλλον

more

Here, Paul speaks about how his joy upon receiving the report from Titus is even more than the joy that he already described in 7:4. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the comparison more explicit. Alternate translation: “even more than I already had rejoiced”
