OET interlinear HEB 10:30

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces support for what the author has said about how God will punish those who shame and dishonor the Son and the Spirit (See: 10:29). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces support for a claim. Alternate translation: “You can tell that is true, because”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

τὸν εἰπόντα & καὶ πάλιν

the_‹one› /having/_said & and again

Here the author quotes from the Old Testament Scriptures. He does not introduce the words as quotations but instead introduces them as words that God has said. However, the audience would have understood that these were words from the Old Testament. The first quotation comes from Deuteronomy 32:35, and the second quotation comes from Deuteronomy 32:36. The words And again are a normal way to include a closely related quotation. See how you translated And again in 1:5 and 2:13. If your readers would not know that these quotations are from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify them. Alternate translation: “the one who said … And he also said”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις

˱to˲_me vengeance_‹is›

If your language does not use an abstract noun to express the idea of Vengeance, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “avenge.” Alternate translation: “I will avenge” or “Avenging is what I will do”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω

I /will_be/_repaying

Here God speaks as if he were going to pay people back for what he owed them. God speaks in this way to indicate that the way he will punish people will match what they have done wrong, just like a repayment matches a debt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will give people what they deserve” or “I will fittingly punish people”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

κρινεῖ Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ

/will_be/_judging /the/_Lord the people ˱of˲_him

Here the author has God speaking about himself in the third person. He uses this form because the quotation uses the third person to speak about God, and the author claims that God speaks the quotation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that God is speaking about himself. Alternate translation: “I am the Lord; I will judge my people”
