OET interlinear HEB 13:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τοίνυν ἐξερχώμεθα

so_now ˱we˲_/may_be/_coming_out

Here, the word therefore introduces an inference or exhortation based on what the author has said in 13:11–12. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces an inference or exhortation. Alternate translation: [Because he did that for us, let us go]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐξερχώμεθα πρὸς αὐτὸν

˱we˲_/may_be/_coming_out to him

In a context such as this, it may be more natural in your language to say “come” instead of go. Alternate translation: [Let us come to him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοίνυν ἐξερχώμεθα πρὸς αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς

so_now ˱we˲_/may_be/_coming_out to him outside the camp

Here, the author speaks of following Christ as if it were leaving the camp (See: 13:11) to be with him outside that camp. Scholars debate what the camp and outside that camp refer to. The author could be encouraging the audience to: (1) abandon what society considers valuable and honorable in order to follow Christ. Alternate translation: [Let us therefore ignore our society to trust in him] (2) abandon the Old Testament sacrificial system to trust in Christ’s sacrifice. Alternate translation: [Let us therefore leave the Old Testament sacrifices behind and trust in his work] (3) abandon the physical world to enter heaven. Alternate translation: [Let us therefore go to him in heaven outside this world]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

φέροντες

bearing

Here the author speaks as if reproach were an object that believers were bearing on their backs. He speaks in this way to refer to “enduring” or “accepting” the reproach. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [enduring] or [accepting]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ

the derision ˱of˲_him

Here the author could be referring to a reproach that is: (1) like the reproach that Christ experienced. Alternate translation: [the reproach that he experienced] or [reproach, which is like what he suffered] (2) for the sake of or because of Christ. Alternate translation: [the reproach for his sake] or [the reproach because of him]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ

the derision ˱of˲_him

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of reproach, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “reproach.” Alternate translation: [being reproached for him] or [it when people reproach us for his sake]
