UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces further explanation of how Jesus is a high priest. This information supports the author’s exhortation to “firmly hold” to the “confession” (See: 4:15). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that introduces support for an exhortation, or you could leave it untranslated. Alternate translation: [We should do that because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ & ἔχομεν ἀρχιερέα μὴ δυνάμενον συνπαθῆσαι ταῖς ἀσθενείαις ἡμῶν, πεπειρασμένον δὲ

not & ˱we˲_/are/_having /a/_chief_priest not being_able (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐ γὰρ ἔχομεν ἀρχιερέα μὴ δυνάμενον συμπαθῆσαι ταῖς ἀσθενείαις ἡμῶν πεπειρασμένον δὲ κατὰ πάντα καθʼ ὁμοιότητα χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας)

Here the author uses two negative words to emphasize how much Jesus is able to sympathize with us as high priest. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea with a positive statement and emphasize it in another way. If you do this, you will need to translate but as a connection instead of a contrast. Alternate translation: [we indeed have a high priest who is able to sympathize with our weaknesses, one having been tempted]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ταῖς ἀσθενείαις ἡμῶν

˱with˲_the weaknesses ˱of˲_us

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of weaknesses, you could express the idea by using a an adjective such as “weak.” Alternate translation: [with the ways that we are weak]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

πεπειρασμένον δὲ

/having_been/_tempted but

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the first half of the sentence. Alternate translation: [but we have one who has been tempted]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πεπειρασμένον

/having_been/_tempted

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on Jesus who was tempted rather than on the person or thing doing the tempting. If you must state who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject, since many things can tempt. Alternate translation: [one whom things tempted] or [one having experienced temptation]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὁμοιότητα

likeness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of likeness, you could express the idea by using a word such as “like” or “similar.” Alternate translation: [what we are like] or [the ways that all humans are similar]

χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας

without sin

Alternate translation: [but who did not sin]
