Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐκπέπτωκεν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ

/has/_fallen_from the word ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here Paul speaks about the word of God as if it were a person who had not failed. He means that what God has said will certainly happen as he said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the word of God will remain unfulfilled” or “the word of God has proved false”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ

the word ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, the word of God refers to what God promised to do for Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “God’s word of promise”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that this sentence gives the reason why what Paul said in the previous sentence is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “This is due to the fact that”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ & πάντες οἱ ἐξ Ἰσραήλ οὗτοι, Ἰσραήλ

not & all the_‹ones› of Israel these Israel_‹are›

Here Paul uses the word Israel in two different ways. The phrase all the ones from Israel refers to all the physical descendants of Jacob, whom God also called Israel. However, the second occurrence of Israel refers to physical descendants of Jacob who trust in Jesus. If it might be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “not all the ones from physical Israel are part of spiritual Israel” or “not every physical Israelite is a true Israelite”
