OET (OET-RV) Remember those earlier days when you first learnt about Messiah and how you endured a lot of suffering—
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
Here, the word But introduces a contrast with the warning that the author has given in 10:26–31. While the author does give a stern warning, he contrasts that here with confidence that they were and will remain faithful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast. Alternate translation: “In contrast,” or “But as for you,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
φωτισθέντες
/having_been/_enlightened
Here the author speaks of receiving and understanding the good news as if it were light shining on a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or express the idea plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase in 6:4. Alternate translation: “having understood the message about the Messiah”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
φωτισθέντες
/having_been/_enlightened
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 were enlightened rather than on the person doing the enlightening. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: “God having enlightened you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
πολλὴν ἄθλησιν & παθημάτων
/a/_great competition & ˱of˲_sufferings
Here the author uses the possessive form to describe a struggle which is made up of sufferings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea without using a possessive form. Alternate translation: “a great struggle, which was your sufferings”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πολλὴν ἄθλησιν & παθημάτων
/a/_great competition & ˱of˲_sufferings
Here, the word struggle refers to an athletic competition or contest. The author describes the sufferings of the audience as an athletic competition because he wishes to show them that their sufferings will bring them gain as long as they “endure” the struggle. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a great contest with your sufferings” or “a great trial of sufferings”
10:32 when you first learned about Christ: The author reminds his readers of those early days, shortly after the community embraced Christianity, when their faith was tested. At that time, they remained faithful in the face of terrible suffering. Suffering is normal for a person who identifies with Christ and his community (13:12-13; Acts 9:16; Rom 8:17; 1 Cor 4:12-13; Phil 1:29; Jas 1:2-4).
