OET interlinear 1PET 2:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

ὃς τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν αὐτὸς ἀνήνεγκεν

who the sins ˱of˲_us himself offered_up

Peter uses the word himself here to emphasize that Jesus alone is the one who bore our sins. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: [none other than Jesus bore our sins] or [Jesus, that very person, bore our sins]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν & ἀνήνεγκεν ἐν τῷ σώματι αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον

the sins ˱of˲_us & offered_up in the body ˱of˲_him on the cross

Peter uses bore our sins to refer to Jesus being punished for our sins as if sins were an object that he carried on his body. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [suffered the punishment for our sins in his body on the tree]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ ξύλον

the cross

Peter uses tree to refer to the cross on which Jesus died, which was made of wood. If your readers would not understand this, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language, as in the UST.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἀπογενόμενοι

¬the ˱to˲_sins /having/_died

Here, having died to sins is a metaphor that means to no longer be controlled by sin. Like a dead person is free from sinning because they are no longer alive, so believers are free to stop sinning because Jesus bore the punishment for their sins. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [being no longer controlled by sin]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἀπογενόμενοι

¬the ˱to˲_sins /having/_died

This clause refers to an event that occurs before the event in the next clause. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could show this relationship by using a fuller phrase. Alternate translation: [after having died to sins]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ ζήσωμεν

¬the ˱to˲_righteousness ˱we˲_/may/_live

When Peter says we, he is speaking of himself and other believers in Christ, so we would be inclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

οὗ τῷ μώλωπι ἰάθητε

˱of˲_whose ˱by˲_his wounds ˱you_all˲_/were/_healed

This clause is a quotation from Isaiah 53:5. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὗ τῷ μώλωπι ἰάθητε

˱of˲_whose ˱by˲_his wounds ˱you_all˲_/were/_healed

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God has healed you by means of his wounds]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οὗ τῷ μώλωπι

˱of˲_whose ˱by˲_his wounds

Here, wounds refers to all the suffering Jesus endured when he was beaten and killed on the cross. If our readers would misunderstand this, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [by whose suffering and death]

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰάθητε

˱you_all˲_/were/_healed

Here, healed could mean: (1) being freed from the penalty and power of sin, which could include physical healing. Alternate translation: [you were freed from the effects of sin] (2) being forgiven for their sins and having a restored relationship with God. Alternate translation: [you were forgiven]
