OET interlinear HEB 3:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ἄχρις οὗ, τὸ σήμερον, καλεῖται

until ˱of˲_which ¬which today ˱it˲_/is_being/_called

Here the author refers to today in such a way that the audience would know that he was referring to how the quotation used the word today (See: 3:7). Use a form in your language that shows that the author is referring back to the quotation. Alternate translation: “as long as it is called ‘today,’ as the psalmist wrote,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄχρις οὗ, τὸ σήμερον, καλεῖται

until ˱of˲_which ¬which today ˱it˲_/is_being/_called

Here the author speaks about a time that we call today. We call every day today, so this phrase means that we should exhort one another all the time. However, since the author of Hebrews uses today because the author of the quotation used it, make sure that you use the same words that you used to translate today in 3:7. Alternate translation: “as long as we live in the time that we call ‘this day’”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ σκληρυνθῇ τις ἐξ ὑμῶν ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας

not /may_be/_hardened someone of you_all ˱by˲_/the/_seduction ¬the ˱of˲_sin

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 hardened rather than on what does the hardening. Alternate translation: “the deceitfulness of sin hardens no one among you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σκληρυνθῇ & ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας

/may_be/_hardened & ˱by˲_/the/_seduction ¬the ˱of˲_sin

Here the author speaks of becoming stubborn or unwilling to obey or trust in God as if the person were hardened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “becomes stubborn because of the deceitfulness of sin” or “stops trusting God because of the deceitfulness of sin”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας

˱by˲_/the/_seduction ¬the ˱of˲_sin

Here the author uses the possessive form to characterize sin as something that has deceitfulness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea more naturally. Alternate translation: “by sin deceiving you” or “by the way that sin deceives”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας

˱by˲_/the/_seduction ¬the ˱of˲_sin

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of deceitfulness, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “deceive” or an adjective such as “deceitful.” Alternate translation: “by how sin deceives” or “by deceitful sin”
