OET interlinear 2 TIM 2:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μνημόνευε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μνημόνευε Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν ἐγηγερμένον ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυίδ κατά τό εὐαγγέλιον μού)

Here the word Remember indicates that Timothy should think consistently about Jesus Christ. It does not imply that Timothy might completely forget about Jesus Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [Concentrate on] or [Consistently think about]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / events

ἐγηγερμένον ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυείδ

˓having_been˒_raised from ˓the˒_dead of ˓the˒_seed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μνημόνευε Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν ἐγηγερμένον ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυίδ κατά τό εὐαγγέλιον μού)

Jesus was born from the seed of David before he was raised from the dead. If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses to express the ideas in sequential order. Alternate translation: [from the seed of David, having been raised from the dead]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐγηγερμένον

˓having_been˒_raised

Here the word raised refers to someone who died coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable idiom or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [having been restored to life]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγηγερμένον

˓having_been˒_raised

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, Paul implies that God did it. Alternate translation: [whom God has raised]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἐκ νεκρῶν

from ˓the˒_dead

Paul is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to refer to people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [from among the dead people] or [from the corpses]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυείδ

from of ˓the˒_seed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μνημόνευε Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν ἐγηγερμένον ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυίδ κατά τό εὐαγγέλιον μού)

Here Paul speaks as if Jesus were a plant that grew from a seed that came from David. He means that Jesus is a descendant of David. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [who is descended from David]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν μου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μνημόνευε Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν ἐγηγερμένον ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυίδ κατά τό εὐαγγέλιον μού)

Here Paul is using the possessive form to describe the gospel that God gave to him to preach. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [according to the gospel message that I preach] or [according to the gospel that was given to me]
