Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ὃν & ἀγαπᾷ Κύριος, παιδεύει, μαστιγοῖ δὲ πάντα υἱὸν ὃν παραδέχεται
whom & /is/_loving /the/_Lord ˱he˲_/is/_disciplining ˱he˲_/is/_chastising and every son whom ˱he˲_/is/_accepting
These two sentences mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both sentences in your translation rather than combining them. However, if the repetition might be confusing, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “whom the Lord loves, he disciplines; yes, he whips every son whom he welcomes”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μαστιγοῖ
˱he˲_/is/_chastising
Here the author of the quotation speaks as if the Lord “whipped” or flogged his “sons.” He speaks in this way because “whipping” was a common form of punishment and training in his culture. He means that God acts in ways that cause his “sons” pain, but he does this to train and discipline them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or express the idea in plain language. Alternate translation: “he is like a father who whips” or “he painfully disciplines”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
υἱὸν
son
Although the word son is masculine, the author is using it to refer to any child, either male or female. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that applies to both men and women or you could refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “son and daughter”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
παραδέχεται
˱he˲_/is/_accepting
Here the author speaks of God acknowledging or claiming someone as a son as if God were “welcoming” the son into his house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable metaphor or plain language. Alternate translation: “he acknowledges” or “he approves of”
12:1-17 The author challenges his hearers to endure in following Jesus, the supreme example of faithfulness, by imitating him in his suffering (12:1-4), by enduring under God’s discipline (12:5-13), and by living in peace with others (12:14-17).
OET (OET-LV) for/because whom is_loving the_master, he_is_disciplining, and he_is_chastising every son whom he_is_accepting.
OET (OET-RV) Because it’s the people that the master loves that he disciplines,
⇔ Indeed he punishes every child that he calls his own.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
