OET interlinear HEB 5:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

υἱός

/a/_son

Here, the word son is an important title for Jesus, the Son of God. Alternate translation: “the Son of God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔμαθεν & τὴν ὑπακοήν

˱he˲_learned & ¬the obedience

Here, the clause he learned obedience means that the Son gained new knowledge and experience about obedience. It does not mean that the Son had never “obeyed” before or had to become better at obeying God. The Son has always “obeyed,” but this verse shows that he learned new things about obedience when he suffered. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he learned what is required to be obedient” or “he learned more about obedience”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ὑπακοήν

¬the obedience

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of obedience, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “obedient” or a verb such as “obey.” Alternate translation: “to be obedient”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ἀφ’ ὧν ἔπαθεν

from what_‹things› ˱he˲_suffered

Here the author does not clarify exactly what the things which he suffered are. These things probably include everything that Jesus suffered during his life up to and including his death. If possible, use a general phrase that could refer to all the “suffering” that Jesus experienced. Alternate translation: “from all the suffering that he experienced”
