OET interlinear HEB 13:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μιμνῄσκεσθε

/be/_remembering

Here, the word Remember implies not just thinking about someone but also acting to help that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this implication more explicit. Alternate translation: “Remember to care for”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary

ὡς συνδεδεμένοι

as /having_been/_bound_with_‹them›

Here the author knows that the people he is addressing have not actually been bound with the prisoners. However, he wants them to care for the prisoners as if they were prisoners with them. In other words, they should care for the prisoners as they would want others to care for them were they in prison. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: “as if having been bound with them” or “imagining that you have been bound with them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

συνδεδεμένοι

/having_been/_bound_with_‹them›

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on those who are bound rather than on the people doing the binding. If you must state who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “someone having bound you with them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κακουχουμένων

/being/_mistreated

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on those who are mistreated rather than on the people doing the mistreating. If you must state who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “whom people mistreat”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὡς καὶ αὐτοὶ ὄντες ἐν σώματι

as as also yourselves being in /the/_body

Here, the word as introduces something about the nature of the audience that should lead them to Remember the ones being mistreated. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces something that supports an exhortation. Alternate translation: “since you yourselves also are in body”

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

καὶ αὐτοὶ

also yourselves

Here, the phrase yourselves also could refer to: (1) the audience. Alternate translation: “also you yourselves” (2) the ones being mistreated. Alternate translation: “they also being”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὡς καὶ αὐτοὶ ὄντες ἐν σώματι

as as also yourselves being in /the/_body

Here, the phrase being in body indicates by association that the people the author is addressing, like the ones being mistreated, are human and so capable of suffering and being hurt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “since you too are human and able to suffer”
