OET interlinear ROM 4:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

μακάριος ἀνὴρ, οὗ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μακάριος ἀνήρ οὗ οὒ μή λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν)

The end of this verse is the end of a quotation from [Psalm 31:1–2](../../psa/031/001.md). It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this with a closing quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the end of a quotation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

μακάριος ἀνὴρ, οὗ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μακάριος ἀνήρ οὗ οὒ μή λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν)

This verse means the same thing as the two clauses in the previous verse. Paul says the same thing here in a slightly different way to emphasize how Blessed people are whom God forgives for their sins. Use a natural way in your language to express this emphasis. Alternate translation: [How truly blessed is a man whose sin the Lord does certainly not count!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ἀνὴρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μακάριος ἀνήρ οὗ οὒ μή λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν)

Paul quotes David speaking of people in general, not of one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: [a person]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἁμαρτίαν

sin

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sin, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [sinful deeds]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ μὴ λογίσηται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μακάριος ἀνήρ οὗ οὒ μή λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν)

Paul quotes David using count to refer to God remembering or regarding people’s sins after he has forgiven them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [does certainly not regard]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μακάριος ἀνήρ οὗ οὒ μή λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν)

The phrase certainly not translates two negative words in Greek. Paul quotes David using them together to emphasize how certain it is that God does not regard people’s sin after he has forgiven them. Use a natural way in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: [never]
