Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
λογισάμενος
/having/_reckoned
Here, the phrase having reasoned introduces the reason why Abraham acted as the author described in 11:17. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this relationship more explicit. Alternate translation: “because he reasoned”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
καὶ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγείρειν
even from /the/_dead /to_be/_raising_‹him›
Here the author uses the phrase raise up to refer to how God makes someone who has died come back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or translate the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “to restore even the dead to life”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
νεκρῶν
/the/_dead
The author is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to refer to all people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this one with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “the dead people” or “the corpses”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτὸν & ἐκομίσατο
him & ˱he˲_received_back
Here, the word he refers to Abraham, and the word him refers to Isaac. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make to whom these words refer more explicit. Alternate translation: “Abraham received Isaac back”
ὅθεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν παραβολῇ ἐκομίσατο
whence him also in /a/_parable ˱he˲_received_back
Here, the word translated from there could be: (1) a reference back to the dead, specifically the state of being dead. Alternate translation: “and in a parable, he received him back from being dead” (2) a linking word that indicates the cause of Abraham receiving Isaac back. Alternate translation: “because of which, also in a parable, he received him back”
