OET interlinear HEB 10:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces one reason why Jesus is currently “waiting” (10:13). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason. Alternate translation: [He can wait because] or [That is because]

τετελείωκεν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους

˱he˲_/has/_perfected for ¬the continual the_‹ones› /being/_sanctified

Here the author indicates that the Messiah has perfected believers once and in the past. He indicates that being sanctified is something that believers are still experiencing and that is not yet finished. In your translation, preserve the timing of these two actions. Alternate translation: [he perfected for all time those who are currently being sanctified]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς

for ¬the continual

Here, the phrase for all time identifies that something is always true or effective. In other words, there will never be a time when it is not true or effective. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea with a comparable phrase. Alternate translation: [forever] or [permanently]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους

the_‹ones› /being/_sanctified

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. The author uses the passive form here to focus on those who are sanctified rather than on the person doing the sanctifying. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: [those whom God is sanctifying]
