OET interlinear 1TIM 2:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a support or basis for the commands that Paul has given. This support comes from the story in the Old Testament that tells how God created the first humans. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a support or basis for commands. Alternate translation: “In support of what I have commanded, the Scriptures record that” or “Indeed,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἀδὰμ & πρῶτος ἐπλάσθη, εἶτα Εὕα

Adam & first /was/_formed thereafter Eve

Here Paul refers to a story found in Genesis 2:5–25. In this story, when God made the first humans, he created a man named Adam. After that, he created a woman named Eve. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the reference more explicit or include this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “the original man, Adam, was formed first, before the original woman, Eve” or “as the story in Genesis shows, Adam was formed first, then Eve”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

Ἀδὰμ & ἐπλάσθη

Adam & /was/_formed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear that it was God. Alternate translation: “God formed Adam”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

εἶτα Εὕα

thereafter Eve

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “then Eve was formed”
