OET interlinear HEB 11:32

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί ἔτι λέγω?

what more ˱I˲_/may_be/_saying

The author uses this question to emphasize that there are many more examples that he could have discussed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea by using a strong statement and include the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “I could talk about so many more examples!”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of why the author cannot say any more. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a further explanation. Alternate translation: “But” or “In fact,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐπιλείψει & με & ὁ χρόνος

/will_be/_failing & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ τί ἔτι λέγω ἐπιλείψει με γὰρ διηγούμενον ὁ χρόνος περὶ Γεδεών Βαράκ Σαμψών Ἰεφθάε Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν προφητῶν)

Here, the phrase the time will fail me indicates that the author does not have enough time to speak about more people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an expression that refers to a lack of time. Alternate translation: “I will not have enough time” or “it would take too much time”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary

με διηγούμενον

me (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ τί ἔτι λέγω ἐπιλείψει με γὰρ διηγούμενον ὁ χρόνος περὶ Γεδεών Βαράκ Σαμψών Ἰεφθάε Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν προφητῶν)

Here, the phrase fully relating indicates the condition in which the time will fail me. Of course, the author indicates that he will not meet this condition. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the relationship more explicit by using a form that introduces a non-real condition. Alternate translation: “me if I were to fully relate” or “me were I to fully relate”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν προφητῶν

the prophets

Here, the phrase the prophets refers in general to anyone who spoke God’s word to his people. The man Samuel was considered a prophet, so make sure that your translation does not imply that Samuel was not a prophet. Alternate translation: “the others who spoke for God”
