OET interlinear HEB 10:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τόν κόσμον λέγει Θυσίαν καί προσφοράν οὐκ ἠθέλησας σῶμα δέ κατηρτίσω μοί)

The word Therefore introduces an inference based on what the author has said about how “blood of bulls and goats” does not “take away sins” (See: [10:4](../10/04.md)). Because that is true, Jesus speaks the words that the author quotes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an inference. Alternate translation: [So then] or [Because of that]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

εἰσερχόμενος

coming_in

The word entering introduces an action that could happen (1) at the same as he says the quotation that follows. Alternate translation: [as he enters]; (2) before he says the quotation that follows. Alternate translation: [as he was about to enter]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον

coming_in into (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τόν κόσμον λέγει Θυσίαν καί προσφοράν οὐκ ἠθέλησας σῶμα δέ κατηρτίσω μοί)

The phrase entering into the world refers to Jesus’ incarnation, when he became human and lived in the world. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [becoming human and entering into the world] or [entering into the world as a man]

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

λέγει

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying

Here and in the following two verses, the author quotes from the Old Testament Scriptures. He does not introduce the words as a quotation but instead introduces them as something that Christ the Son said to God the Father. However, the audience would have understood that these were words from the Old Testament, specifically from [Psalm 40:6–8](../../psa/040/006.md). If your readers would not know that the quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify it. Alternate translation: [he says to God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τόν κόσμον λέγει Θυσίαν καί προσφοράν οὐκ ἠθέλησας σῶμα δέ κατηρτίσω μοί)

These two terms mean basically the same thing. The author of the quotation uses both of them to show that he is referring to animal sacrifices in general. If your language does not use repetition to do this or if you do not have two words for these ideas, you could use one phrase and make it general in another way. Alternate translation: [Sacrifices] or [Any kind of offering]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

οὐκ ἠθέλησας & κατηρτίσω

not ˱you˲_wanted & ˱you˲_prepared

Because Christ is speaking to one person (God the Father), you is singular here.
