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

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 & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗ ἡ φωνή τήν γῆν ἐσάλευσεν τότε νῦν δέ ἐπήγγελται λέγων Ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐγώ σείσω οὒ μόνον τήν γῆν ἀλλά καί τόν οὐρανόν)

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

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](../../hag/02/06.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 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

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗ ἡ φωνή τήν γῆν ἐσάλευσεν τότε νῦν δέ ἐπήγγελται λέγων Ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐγώ σείσω οὒ μόνον τήν γῆν ἀλλά καί τόν οὐρανόν)

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]
