OET interlinear ROM 9:13

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. If you must state who did the action, the quotation was written by the prophet Malachi, and God is the person speaking. Alternate translation: “It is just as God had Malachi write”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

τὸν Ἰακὼβ ἠγάπησα, τὸν δὲ Ἠσαῦ ἐμίσησα

¬The Jacob ˱I˲_loved ¬the but Esau ˱I˲_hated

This sentence is a quotation from Malachi 1:2–3. 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: writing-pronouns

ἠγάπησα & ἐμίσησα

˱I˲_loved & ˱I˲_hated

The pronoun I here refers to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “I, God, loved … I hated”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἐμίσησα

˱I˲_hated

Paul quotes God using the word hated as an exaggeration to say that he did not love Esau and had completely rejected him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I completely rejected”
