OET interlinear HEB 9:28

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

οὕτως καὶ

thus also

Here, the phrase so also introduces what the author will compare with humans dying and being judged (9:27). The comparison between humans and Christ is about two primary things. First, both die once. Second, God’s final decision, either judgment or salvation, follows this death at some point. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the second part of a comparison. “likewise” or “in much the same way”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

προσενεχθεὶς

/having_been/_offered

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. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that Christ did it himself. Alternate translation: “having offered himself”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς τὸ & ἀνενεγκεῖν ἁμαρτίας

in_order that & /to/_offer_up /the/_sins

Here the author speaks as if Jesus would literally bear the sins of others, as if they were a weight that Jesus would take off of them and carry himself. He speaks in this way to indicate that Jesus eliminates the guilt and the power of these sins over people by receiving on himself the punishment for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to remove the sins” or “to take on himself the punishment from the sins”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὀφθήσεται

/will_be_being/_seen

Here, the phrase will appear refers to how Jesus will be seen by everyone on earth when comes back to earth from heaven. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to Jesus coming back to earth. Alternate translation: “will appear to everyone on earth”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκ δευτέρου

out_of /a/_second_‹time›

Here the author refers to a second time because Jesus already appeared on earth for a “first time” when he became human, lived, and died. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: “one more time” or “again”

Note 6 topic: translate-ordinal

ἐκ δευτέρου

out_of /a/_second_‹time›

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: “for time two”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας

apart_from sin

Here, the phrase apart from sin means that Jesus will not return to deal with sin once again. (The phrase does not refer to how Jesus himself does not have sin, although that is true; see 4:15). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that indicates this. Alternate translation: “not to deal with sin”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τοῖς & εἰς σωτηρίαν

˱to˲_the_‹ones› & for salvation

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind salvation, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “save.” Alternate translation: “to save those”
