SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:33–36: Paul praised God

In this section, Paul praised God for his wisdom, knowledge, judgment, thinking, greatness, and power. He ended with acknowledging God’s glory.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

Doxology (NIV)

Words of praise to God

11:34a–b

This verse is a quote from Isaiah 40:13. If you indicate the location of quotes from the Old Testament with cross-references, you may want to do so here.

Some languages use a standard way to introduce Scripture quotes. For example:

For, as the Holy Book says, “Who…

Note that “For” is not a part of the words from Isaiah.

Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?: This verse has two questions connected with the word Or. In some languages it is more natural to punctuate them as a single question. For example:

For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?

11:34a

“Who has known the mind of the Lord?

Who has known the mind of the Lord?: This is a rhetorical question. It emphasizes that no one knows what the Lord is thinking. Translate with that meaning. Here are some ways:

has known: The Greek tense on the verb indicates that Paul spoke in summary about knowing. In some languages the present tense would better indicate that meaning. For example:

knows (GNT)

the Lord: The word Lord refers to someone who has authority over people. Here this phrase refers to God. In some languages it is more natural to indicate who this Lord is. For example:

the Lord God

See how you translated the word Lord in 4:8 or 11:3.

11:34b

Or who has been His counselor?”

Or who has been His counselor?: This is a rhetorical question. It emphasizes that God has never needed the advice of someone. Translate with that meaning. Here are some ways:

has been His counselor: The Greek tense on the verb indicates that Paul spoke in summary about becoming God’s counselor. Translate with that meaning. For example:

became His counselor (NASB)

is his counselor

counselor: This word refers to a person who gives advice. He tells someone else what he thinks is the best decision for him to make. See the examples above.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τίς Γάρ Ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου ἤ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο)

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, For introduces a quotation from an Old Testament book ([Isaiah 40:13](../../isa/40/13.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: [For it is written in the Scriptures]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

τίς & ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου, ἢ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο

who & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τίς Γάρ Ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου ἤ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο)

This sentence is a quotation from [Isaiah 40:13](../../isa/40/13.md). 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 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς & ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου, ἢ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο

who & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τίς Γάρ Ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου ἤ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο)

Paul quotes Isaiah using this question to emphasize that no one is as wise as the Lord. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [No one has known the mind of the Lord or become his advisor!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

νοῦν Κυρίου

˓the˒_mind ˱of˲_˓the˒_Lord

Here, mind refers to what a person knows and thinks. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [all that the Lord knows] or [what the Lord thinks about]
