OET interlinear HEB 10:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

τότε εἴρηκεν

then ˱he˲_˓has˒_said

The author uses then he had said to requote a part of the quotation that he introduced earlier (See: [10:5–7](../10/05.md)). The word then refers to the later part or parts of the quotation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces something that has already been quoted. Alternate translation: [then he says at the end of the quotation]

ἰδοὺ, ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημά σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τότε εἴρηκεν Ἰδού ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι τό θέλημα σοῦ Ἀναιρεῖ τό πρῶτον ἵνα τό δεύτερον στήσῃ)

These are the same words that the author of the quotation used in [10:7](../10/07.md), although the author of Hebrews omitted some of the words to focus on his point. Translate these words the same way you did in [10:7](../10/07.md).

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἀναιρεῖ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τότε εἴρηκεν Ἰδού ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι τό θέλημα σοῦ Ἀναιρεῖ τό πρῶτον ἵνα τό δεύτερον στήσῃ)

The word He could refer to: (1) the Messiah, who is the one who speaks the quotation. Alternate translation: [The Messiah takes away] or [The one who is speaking takes away]; (2) God the Father. Alternate translation: [God takes away]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀναιρεῖ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τότε εἴρηκεν Ἰδού ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι τό θέλημα σοῦ Ἀναιρεῖ τό πρῶτον ἵνα τό δεύτερον στήσῃ)

The author speaks as if the first were an object that He could “take away.” By speaking in this way, he means that He has removed the power or efficacy of the first, as surely as if he took it from a place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He removes] or [He nullifies]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ πρῶτον & τὸ δεύτερον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τότε εἴρηκεν Ἰδού ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι τό θέλημα σοῦ Ἀναιρεῖ τό πρῶτον ἵνα τό δεύτερον στήσῃ)

The phrases the first and the second could refer to: (1) the parts of the quotation that the author has identified. Alternate translation: [the first thing he talked about … the second thing he talked about]; (2) the systems or arrangements of the two different covenants. Alternate translation: [the first system … the second system]; (3) the two covenants themselves. Alternate translation: [the first covenant … the second covenant]

Note 5 topic: translate-ordinal

τὸ πρῶτον & τὸ δεύτερον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τότε εἴρηκεν Ἰδού ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι τό θέλημα σοῦ Ἀναιρεῖ τό πρῶτον ἵνα τό δεύτερον στήσῃ)

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use cardinal numbers here. Alternate translation: [number one … number two] or [the one … the other]
