WMBB (Same as above)

MSG ^(1-3)Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what the author said in the previous two verses (12:1–2) about “looking away to Jesus” and about who Jesus is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a further explanation. Alternate translation: [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

τὸν

the_‹one›

Here, the word one refers to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make whom one refers to explicit. Alternate translation: [Jesus, the one who]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοιαύτην & ἀντιλογίαν

such & controversy

Here, the phrase such opposition implies that there was much or great opposition. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this explicit. Alternate translation: [great opposition] or [much opposition]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τοιαύτην & ὑπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν & ἀντιλογίαν

such & by ¬the sinners & controversy

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of opposition, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “oppose.” Alternate translation: [how sinners greatly opposed him]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἁμαρτωλῶν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς

sinners against (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναλογίσασθε γὰρ τὸν τοιαύτην ὑπομεμενηκότα ὑπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν εἰς αὑτούς ἀντιλογίαν ἵνα μὴ κάμητε ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν ἐκλυόμενοι)

Here, the author indicates that the opposition that Jesus endured was actually against the people who opposed Jesus. By including against themselves, the author indicates that their opposition to Jesus actually hurt themselves. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that against themselves means that they hurt or injured themselves. Alternate translation: [sinners, who actually harmed themselves]

Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants

ἑαυτοὺς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναλογίσασθε γὰρ τὸν τοιαύτην ὑπομεμενηκότα ὑπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν εἰς αὑτούς ἀντιλογίαν ἵνα μὴ κάμητε ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν ἐκλυόμενοι)

Here some early manuscripts have “him” or “himself” instead of themselves. The best manuscripts have themselves, but scholars often argue that “himself” makes more sense here. Consider whether your readers are familiar with a version that uses “himself” here. Otherwise, you could follow the ULT by using themselves.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἵνα μὴ κάμητε, ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν ἐκλυόμενοι

in_order_that not ˱you_all˲_/may/_falter ˱in˲_the souls ˱of˲_you_all /being/_exhausted

Here, the author continues to speak as if the audience are running a race. He wishes them to persevere in trusting God, just like a runner who does not become weary or “give up.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [so that you, like a runner, might not become weary in your souls, giving up] or [so that you might not become discouraged in your souls, ceasing to trust God]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

μὴ κάμητε, ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν ἐκλυόμενοι

not ˱you_all˲_/may/_falter ˱in˲_the souls ˱of˲_you_all /being/_exhausted

Here, the phrase in your souls could go with: (1) become weary. See the ULT. (2) giving up. Alternate translation: [you might not become weary, giving up in your souls]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν

˱in˲_the souls ˱of˲_you_all

Here, the phrase your souls is a way to refer to the audience members while focusing on their inner life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to the inner life of a person, or you could simply refer to the person as a whole. Alternate translation: [in your hearts] or [inside]

Note 10 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐκλυόμενοι

/being/_exhausted

Here, the phrase giving up introduces what the result would be if the audience became weary in their souls. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this relationship more explicit. Alternate translation: [with the result that you give up]
