OET interlinear HEB 1:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοὶ ἀπολοῦνται & πάντες & παλαιωθήσονται

they /will_be/_perishing & all & /will_be_being/_grown_old

Here, the words They and they refer to the “earth” and the “heavens” mentioned in 1:10, which together refer to everything that God has made. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify what They and they refer back to. Alternate translation: “Earth and heavens themselves will perish … they will all wear out” or “Every created thing itself will perish … every one of them will wear out”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

αὐτοὶ ἀπολοῦνται, σὺ δὲ διαμένεις

they /will_be/_perishing you but /are/_continuing

Here, the words translated themselves and yourself emphasize the contrast between “them” and “you.” Consider using a natural way to emphasize this contrast in your language. Alternate translation: “It is they who will perish, but it is you who will continue”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σὺ & διαμένεις

you & /are/_continuing

Since the phrase you yourself refers to one person, the Son, you yourself is singular here.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

πάντες ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσονται

all like /a/_garment /will_be_being/_grown_old

Here the author of the quotation compares the heavens and earth to a piece of clothing that gets old and eventually becomes useless. By speaking in this way, he illustrates how everything that God has created will eventually fall apart. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable simile or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “they will all fall apart like an old shirt” or “they will eventually come to nothing”
