OET interlinear ROM 3:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

See how you translated this phrase in 1:17.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

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: “Just as the prophets wrote”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

οὐκ ἔστιν δίκαιος οὐδὲ εἷς

not_‹one› ˱there˲_is righteous not_even one

This sentence is Paul’s paraphrase of Psalm 14:3. 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 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

οὐκ ἔστιν δίκαιος οὐδὲ εἷς

not_‹one› ˱there˲_is righteous not_even one

These two phrases mean the same thing. Paul says the same thing twice, in slightly different ways, to emphasize that not even one person is righteous. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “There is not even one person who is righteous” or “Absolutely no one who is righteous”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οὐκ ἔστιν δίκαιος οὐδὲ εἷς

not_‹one› ˱there˲_is righteous not_even one

Paul is using the singular adjectives none righteous and one as nouns in order to describe all people. If your language does not use adjectives in the same way, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “There are no righteous people, not any people” or “There is no righteous person, not even one person”
