OET interlinear HEB 5:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καθώς καί ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει Σύ ἱερεύς εἰς τόν αἰῶνα κατά τήν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ)

The author quotes from the Old Testament Scriptures. He does not introduce the words as a quotation but instead introduces them as words that God has spoken to Christ. However, the audience would have understood that these were quotations from the Old Testament, specifically from [Psalm 110:4](../../psa/110/04.md). Since the author introduces the quotation as words that God has said to Christ, you should introduce the quotation as words that someone has said. If your readers would not know that the quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify it. The phrase in another place shows that the words come from a different part of the Old Testament, here a different psalm. Alternate translation: [he also declared, as it is recorded in another place in the Scriptures,]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

καὶ & λέγει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καθώς καί ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει Σύ ἱερεύς εἰς τόν αἰῶνα κατά τήν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ)

The word he refers to God the Father, who speaks these words to his Son. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make explicit that he refers to God. Alternate translation: [God also says]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καθώς καί ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει Σύ ἱερεύς εἰς τόν αἰῶνα κατά τήν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ)

Because the quotation is referring to one person (Christ), you is singular here.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καθώς καί ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει Σύ ἱερεύς εἰς τόν αἰῶνα κατά τήν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ)

The word order refers to requirements and duties that go along with a specific office or position. If someone serves according to the order of someone else, that means that he or she meets the same requirements and performs the same duties which that person did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase. Alternate translation: [in the same way that Melchizedek was a priest] or [with a priesthood just like Melchizedek’s priesthood]
