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

11:35a–b

These words are from Job 41:11a, but it is not an exact quote. However, some English versions put quote marks around Romans 11:35. If you indicate the location of quotes from the Old Testament with cross-references, you may want to do so here.

Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?: This is a rhetorical question. It emphasizes that no one, by giving something to God, has forced God to give him something in return. Translate with that meaning. Here are some ways:

11:35a

“Who has first given to God,

Who: This word introduces another quote from Scripture. Some languages use a standard way to introduce Scripture quotes. For example:

As the Holy Book also says, “Who…

has first given to God: The Greek word here means “gave (something) beforehand.” Here are other ways to translate this Greek word:

has given to God first

gave a gift to him so that he must repay that giving

11:35b

that God should repay him?”

that: This is the Greek word usually translated as “and.” The context implies that a result follows here. Some languages can use “and” and imply that meaning. For example:

and

God should repay him: The Greek is more literally “it will be repaid to him.” It implies that God must give something in return for the gift given to him. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

he might be repaid (ESV)

to receive a gift in return (NRSV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ἢ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ τίς προέδωκεν αὐτῷ καί ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ)

The word Or introduces another item. Here, Or indicates that what follows is Paul’s paraphrase of a verse in an Old Testament book ([Job 41:11](../job/41/11.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: [Or, as is written in the Scriptures]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

τίς προέδωκεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ

who previously_given ˱to˲_him (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ τίς προέδωκεν αὐτῷ καί ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ)

This sentence is a paraphrase of part of [Job 41:11](../job/41/11.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 προέδωκεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ?

who previously_given ˱to˲_him (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ τίς προέδωκεν αὐτῷ καί ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ)

Paul quotes Job using this question to emphasize what he is saying. 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 ever given anything to God, that he should be repaid by him!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τίς προέδωκεν αὐτῷ

who previously_given ˱to˲_him

Paul quotes Job leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [Who gave something to him]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ

˓will_be_being˒_repaid ˱to˲_him

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 should repay him]
