OET interlinear HEB 13:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

ἡ φιλαδελφία μενέτω

¬The brotherly_love /let_be/_remaining

Here the author uses a third-person imperative. If you have third-person imperatives in your language, you could use one here. If you do not have third-person imperatives, you could express the idea using a word such as “should” or “must.” Alternate translation: [Brotherly love must continue]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ φιλαδελφία μενέτω

¬The brotherly_love /let_be/_remaining

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind love, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “love.” Alternate translation: [Continue to love each other as brothers] or [Let each of you continue to love each other in a brotherly way]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἡ φιλαδελφία

¬The brotherly_love

Here the author refers to brotherly love because he has identified all believers as “brothers” (See: 3:1; 10:19). If possible, express the word brotherly here with a word that is related to how you translated “brothers” in those verses. Alternate translation: [love for fellow believers] or [brotherly and sisterly love]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

φιλαδελφία

brotherly_love

Although the word brotherly is masculine, the author is using it to refer to all siblings, both male and 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: [love for family] or [sibling love]
