Note 1 topic: translate-blessing
δῴη ἔλεος ὁ Κύριος τῷ Ὀνησιφόρου οἴκῳ
/might/_give mercy the Lord ˱to˲_the ˱of˲_Onesiphorus household
Here Paul asks God to bless the family of Onesiphorus. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: “I ask the Lord to give mercy to the household of Onesiphorus” or “I pray that the household of Onesiphorus will receive mercy from the Lord”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
δῴη ἔλεος ὁ Κύριος
/might/_give mercy the Lord
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of mercy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “May the Lord be merciful”
Note 3 topic: translate-names
Ὀνησιφόρου
˱of˲_Onesiphorus
The word Onesiphorus is the name of a man.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὴν ἅλυσίν μου οὐκ ἐπησχύνθη
the chain ˱of˲_me not (Some words not found in SR-GNT: δῴη ἔλεος ὁ Κύριος τῷ Ὀνησιφόρου οἴκῳ ὅτι πολλάκις με ἀνέψυξεν καὶ τὴν ἅλυσίν μου οὐκ ἐπαισχύνθη)
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: “my chain did not shame him”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν ἅλυσίν μου
the chain ˱of˲_me
Here, chain represents imprisonment or being in jail. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my imprisonment” or “me being in prison”
1:15-18 Using the examples of others, both negative and positive, Paul continues urging Timothy to be faithful and to come to Rome without fear.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
