HEB 10:37 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

ἔτι γὰρ μικρὸν ὅσον, ὅσον ὁ ἐρχόμενος

still for little as_much_as as_much_as the_‹one› coming

The words of the quotation could begin with: (1) yet. Alternate translation: “For ‘yet in a very little while, the one coming” (2) in a very little while. Alternate translation: “For yet ‘in a very little while, the one coming” (3) the one coming. Alternate translation: “For yet in a very little while, ‘the one coming”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

γὰρ

for

Here the author uses the word For to introduce a quotation from the Old Testament, which continues in the following verse. This quotation supports what he has said about how the audience needs “endurance” (See: 10:37). The quotation is from Habakkuk 2:3–4, although the author rearranges some clauses in the following verse. Further, the phrase yet in a very little while paraphrases the beginning of Habakkuk 2:3, and it sounds much like part of Isaiah 26:20. However, the author introduces these words as one quotation, so you should also do that. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it explicit that the author is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “For in the Scriptures it says,” or “For someone wrote in the Scriptures,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἥξει, καὶ οὐ χρονίσει

the_‹one› coming /will_be/_coming and not /will_be/_delaying

Here the author of the quotation makes the same point with both a positive and a negative statement. This was considered good poetry in his culture. If it would not be considered good poetry in your culture, and if it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea with one strong statement. Alternate translation: “the one coming will certainly come” or “the one coming will not delay coming”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ χρονίσει

not /will_be/_delaying

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 delay. Alternate translation: “will hurry” or “will arrive quickly”
