SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:1–5: Paul was very sad about the Jews

In this section, Paul said that he was very sad about his fellow Jews. He was not specific about the cause of his sadness in these verses, only that God had given them many advantages as Israelites. Paul implied that they did not follow through on those advantages, and that made him sad.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

The unbelief of Israel and God’s choices

God chooses only according to his plan regarding the Jews

9:2

I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.

I am very sad and have grief in my heart/insides that will not stop.
that I am full of grief and my heart/liver pains me all the time.

deep sorrow and unceasing anguish: The two Greek words here both refer to emotional/mental pain.BDAG (pages 604, 692) defines the first Greek word as “pain of mind or spirit” and the second as “mental pain.” Many languages have two words or phrases similar in meaning like that. For example:

I am exceedingly burdened (lit. heavied), also I am always sad (lit. my thoughts are pained)Kankanaey Back Translation on TW.

my grief is very severe and my mind/inner-being cries-over-itTagbanwa Back Translation on TW.

But in some languages it is more natural to use only one word or phrase. For example:

I see very much sadnessKamula Back Translation, unpublished manuscript, Papua New Guinea.

heart: Here this word refers to the part of a person in which thoughts and feelings occur. In some languages people use a different part of the body, such as the mind, throat, liver, or stomach, in this way. See how you translated this word in 1:21 or 8:27.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

λύπη μοί ἐστιν μεγάλη, καὶ ἀδιάλειπτος ὀδύνη τῇ καρδίᾳ μου

sorrow ˱to˲_me (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτι λύπη μοί ἐστίν μεγάλη καί ἀδιάλειπτος ὀδύνη τῇ καρδίᾳ μού)

Here, unceasing pain in my heart is an idiom that Paul uses to share his emotional distress. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am experiencing great and unceasing sorrow]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

λύπη & μεγάλη, καὶ ἀδιάλειπτος ὀδύνη

sorrow & great (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτι λύπη μοί ἐστίν μεγάλη καί ἀδιάλειπτος ὀδύνη τῇ καρδίᾳ μού)

These two expressions mean basically the same thing. Paul uses them to emphasize how intense his emotions are. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [exceedingly great sorrow]
