UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὸ

therefore

Here, the word Therefore introduces an inference or conclusion that the author draws from what he has said about “shaking” in 12:26–27. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an inference or conclusion from an argument. Alternate translation: [Because of that] or [So then]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

παραλαμβάνοντες

receiving

Here, the word receiving introduces the reason why we should have gratitude. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include a word or phrase that makes this relationship clear. Alternate translation: [because we are receiving]

βασιλείαν ἀσάλευτον

/a/_kingdom unshakeable

Here, the word unshakable could refer to: (1) how something is not “shaken.” Alternate translation: [a kingdom that is not shaken] (2) whether something can be “shaken” or not. Alternate translation: [a kingdom that cannot be shaken]

ἀσάλευτον

unshakeable

See how you translated “shook,” “shake,” and “shaken” in Hebrews 12:26–27.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἔχωμεν χάριν

˱we˲_/may_be/_having grace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind gratitude, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “grateful.” Alternate translation: [let us be grateful]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

δι’ ἧς

by which

Here, the word which refers to gratitude. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what which refers to explicit. Alternate translation: [through which gratitude]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετὰ εὐλαβείας καὶ δέους

with reverence and reverence

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of reverence and awe, you could express the ideas by using adverbs such as “reverently” and “fearfully.” Alternate translation: [both reverently and fearfully]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

μετὰ εὐλαβείας καὶ δέους

with reverence and reverence

Here, the words reverence and awe function together to identify a reverent and fearing attitude. It is possible that reverence refers to proper respect towards a deity, while awe refers to fear in general. If you do not have two words for these categories, you could use a single word or phrase to identify an attitude of fearing reverence. Alternate translation: [with respectful fear] or [with reverent piety]
