OET interlinear ROM 8:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

συναντιλαμβάνεται & ὑπερεντυγχάνει

˓is˒_helping & ˓is˒_interceding

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence 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: [helps us … intercedes for us]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ ἡμῶν

˱with˲_the weakness ˱of˲_us

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of weakness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in our weak condition]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡσαύτως Δέ καί τό Πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ ἡμῶν τό γάρ τί προσευξώμεθα καθό δεῖ οὐκ οἴδαμεν ἀλλʼ αὐτό τό Πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις)

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows is the reason why the previous statement is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: [This is true since]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

τὸ γὰρ τί προσευξώμεθα καθὸ δεῖ, οὐκ οἴδαμεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡσαύτως Δέ καί τό Πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ ἡμῶν τό γάρ τί προσευξώμεθα καθό δεῖ οὐκ οἴδαμεν ἀλλʼ αὐτό τό Πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: [For we do not know the thing for which we should pray as we ought]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

αὐτὸ τὸ Πνεῦμα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡσαύτως Δέ καί τό Πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ ἡμῶν τό γάρ τί προσευξώμεθα καθό δεῖ οὐκ οἴδαμεν ἀλλʼ αὐτό τό Πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις)

Paul uses the word himself here to emphasize that Holy Spirit helps Christians. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: [the very Spirit]

στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις

˱with˲_groanings inexpressible

Alternate translation: [with groanings that we cannot express in words]
