12:22 No: There is a strong contrast between the old and the new covenant. Believers have now come to wonderful Mount Zion, which is closely associated with Jerusalem and represents God’s dwelling place.
• heavenly Jerusalem: See study note on 8:5.
• The new covenant constitutes a relationship with God by which we experience his presence with joy, peace, and fellowship.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
ἀλλὰ
but
Here, the word But introduces a contrast with what the audience have not “come to,” which the author has described in 12:18–21. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast with the previous section or idea. Alternate translation: “On the other hand,” or “On the contrary,”
Σιὼν Ὄρει καὶ πόλει Θεοῦ ζῶντος, Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐπουρανίῳ
˱to˲_Zion Mount and /the/_city ˱of˲_God /the/_living /the/_Jerusalem heavenly
Here, the phrases city of the living God and heavenly Jerusalem could: (1) identify what is on Mount Zion. Alternate translation: “Mount Zion and on it the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem” (2) give other names for Mount Zion. Alternate translation: “Mount Zion, that is, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Σιὼν Ὄρει καὶ πόλει Θεοῦ ζῶντος, Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐπουρανίῳ
˱to˲_Zion Mount and /the/_city ˱of˲_God /the/_living /the/_Jerusalem heavenly
Here the author is not referring to any earthly Mount or city. Rather, he is referring to things in heaven. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this clear from the beginning. Alternate translation: “Mount Zion that is in heaven and to the city of the living God, the Jerusalem that is in heaven”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
Θεοῦ ζῶντος
˱of˲_God /the/_living
Here, much as in 10:31, the phrase the living God identifies God as the one who “lives” and possibly as the one who gives “life.” The primary point is that God actually “lives,” unlike idols and other things that people call “god.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that emphasizes that God really “lives.” Alternate translation: “of the God who lives” or “of the true God”
Note 4 topic: translate-numbers
μυριάσιν ἀγγέλων
˱to˲_myriads ˱of˲_angels
Here, the word “myriad” names the number 10,000. The plural myriads refers generally to any large number. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to a very large number. Alternate translation: “to millions of angels” or “innumerable angels”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ἀγγέλων πανηγύρει
˱of˲_angels ˱to˲_/the/_assembly
Here, the word assembly could: (1) rename or describe myriads of angels. Alternate translation: “of angels in assembly,” or “of angels—an assembly—” (2) be in parallel with “church” in the following verse, going with “firstborn.” Alternate translation: “of angels, and to the assembly”
