OET (OET-LV) of_whose the voice the earth shook then, but now he_has_promised saying:
Still once more I will_be_shaking, not only the earth, but also the heaven.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
οὗ ἡ φωνὴ
˱of˲_whose ¬the voice
Here, the word voice refers to the act of speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer directly to the act of speaking. Alternate translation: “whose speech” or “whose speaking”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τότε; νῦν
then now
Here, the phrase at that time refers to the time when God spoke from Mount Sinai. In contrast, the word now refers to the present time, the time when the author is writing this letter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the time references more explicit. Alternate translation: “at the time of the first covenant … right now”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
ἐσάλευσεν & ἐγὼ σείσω
shook & I /will_be/_shaking
Here the author uses words that refer to earthquakes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words that describe the earth shaking in an earthquake. Alternate translation: “quaked … I myself will quake”
Note 4 topic: writing-quotations
ἐπήγγελται λέγων
˱he˲_/has/_promised saying
Here the author quotes from an important text, the Old Testament scriptures. He does not introduce the words as a quotation but instead introduces them as something that God says to his people. However, the audience would have understood that these were words from the Old Testament, specifically from Haggai 2:6. 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 has promised in the Scriptures, saying” or “he has promised when he said in the Scriptures”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἔτι ἅπαξ
still once_‹more›
Here, the phrase Still once indicates that something has already happened and will happen again, but only one more time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that indicates that something will happen one more time. Alternate translation: “Again, but one time only,” or “Once more”
12:25-29 As the final warning in the book (see 2:1-4; 4:12-13; 6:4-8; 10:26-31), this passage plays off the image of God speaking in 12:18-24.
OET (OET-LV) of_whose the voice the earth shook then, but now he_has_promised saying:
Still once more I will_be_shaking, not only the earth, but also the heaven.
OET (OET-RV) When God spoke back then (from Mount Sinai), it made the earth quake. However, at this time he promises, “I’ll make the earth and also heaven quake one more time.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
