OET interlinear 1 TIM 5:25

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ τὰ ἔργα τὰ καλὰ πρόδηλα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὡσαύτως καί τά ἔργα τά καλά πρόδηλα καί τά ἄλλως ἔχοντα κρυβῆναι οὒ δύνανται)

Here Paul implies that these are the good works of some people, since he states in the second half of the verse that some good works are not evident. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [also the good works of some are evident]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰ ἄλλως ἔχοντα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὡσαύτως καί τά ἔργα τά καλά πρόδηλα καί τά ἄλλως ἔχοντα κρυβῆναι οὒ δύνανται)

Here Paul is referring to good works that are otherwise because they are not immediately evident. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the ones that are not immediately evident] or [the good works that are secret]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

κρυβῆναι οὐ δύναταί

˓to_be˒_hidden (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὡσαύτως καί τά ἔργα τά καλά πρόδηλα καί τά ἄλλως ἔχοντα κρυβῆναι οὒ δύνανται)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb hidden. Alternate translation: [will necessarily be revealed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κρυβῆναι οὐ δύναταί

˓to_be˒_hidden (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὡσαύτως καί τά ἔργα τά καλά πρόδηλα καί τά ἄλλως ἔχοντα κρυβῆναι οὒ δύνανται)

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. Alternate translation: [cannot stay secret] or [are not able to remain unknown]
