OET interlinear HEB 10:35

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word So introduces an inference or exhortation based on what the author has said in 10:32–34 about what the audience did and experienced in the past. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that naturally introduces an inference or exhortation. Alternate translation: “Because of that,” or “So then,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ ἀποβάλητε & τὴν παρρησίαν ὑμῶν

not ˱you_all˲_/may/_throw_away & the boldness ˱of˲_you_all

Here the author speaks as if confidence were an object that the audience throw away and lose. The author speaks in this way to urge the audience to remain firmly confident, as firmly as they would hold onto a valuable possession. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “let go of your confidence” or “must not cease being confident”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν παρρησίαν ὑμῶν

the boldness ˱of˲_you_all

Here the author does not state explicitly what the confidence is in. He implies that the confidence is in God and in what God has promised to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the object of confidence more explicit. Alternate translation: “your confidence in God” or “your confidence in what God has said”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν παρρησίαν ὑμῶν

the boldness ˱of˲_you_all

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of confidence, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “confident” or an adverb such as “confidently.” Alternate translation: “how confident you are” or “the way you confidently trust God”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἥτις ἔχει μεγάλην μισθαποδοσίαν

which /is/_having /a/_great reward

Here the author speaks as if confidence were a person who could “have” a great reward. The author speaks in this way to indicate that people who have this kind of confidence will receive that great reward from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in plain language. Alternate translation: “which God will greatly reward” or “since those with this confidence will receive a great reward”
