OET interlinear HEB 7:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καθ’ ἡμέραν ἀνάγκην, ὥσπερ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, πρότερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἰδίων ἁμαρτιῶν θυσίας ἀναφέρειν, ἔπειτα τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ

in_every day necessity as the chief_priests previously for his own sins sacrifices /to_be/_offering_up then ˱for˲_the_‹sins› ˱of˲_the people

If it would be helpful in your language, you could rearrange the elements in this sentence. Alternate translation: “a need each day to offer up sacrifices, first on behalf of his own sins and then on behalf of the those of the people, even as the high priests do”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὥσπερ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς

as the chief_priests

Here, the phrase high priests refers to other high priests besides Jesus, more specifically those who are descended from Levi and Aaron. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it more explicit which high priests these are. Alternate translation: “even as the other high priests” or “even as the Levitical high priests”

πρότερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἰδίων ἁμαρτιῶν θυσίας ἀναφέρειν, ἔπειτα τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ

previously for his own sins sacrifices /to_be/_offering_up then ˱for˲_the_‹sins› ˱of˲_the people

Here the author uses words and ideas that are very similar to what he used in 5:3. They are not the same words, but the main idea is very similar. Consider referring to that verse when you translate these words.

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

πρότερον & ἔπειτα

previously & then

Here, the words first and then indicate sequence in time. In other words, only after making an offering on behalf of his own sins does the high priest do so on behalf of those of the people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words or phrases that introduce two actions in a sequence. Alternate translation: “in the first place … and in the second place” or “first … and second”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

τῶν ἰδίων & ἐποίησεν & ἑαυτὸν

his own & ˱he˲_did & himself

Here, the phrase his own refers to any one of the high priests. The words he and himself refer to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make to whom these words refer more explicit. Alternate translation: “the high priest’s own … Jesus did … himself”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces the reason why Jesus did not have each day a need to do what the high priests did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason. Alternate translation: “because” or “since”

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο & ἐποίησεν

this & ˱he˲_did

Here, the word this refers to the result of the sacrifices that the author mentioned earlier in the verse. He means that Jesus successfully dealt with or removed sins, which is what those sacrifices were meant to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what this refers to more explicit. Alternate translation: “he successfully took away sins” or “he did what these priests were supposed to do”
