UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For indicates that the author is going to explain more about high priests and about how Jesus is a high priest. It also signals that the author is beginning a new section. Use a word or phrase that indicates that a new section is beginning, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [Now]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

λαμβανόμενος

/being/_taken

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 those who are taken rather than on the person doing the taking. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: [God taking him] or [whom God takes]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἐξ ἀνθρώπων & ὑπὲρ ἀνθρώπων

from people & for people

Although the word men is masculine, the author is using it to refer to all the people in a group, both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that applies to both men and women or you could refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [from among humans on the behalf of humans]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καθίσταται

/is_being/_appointed

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 those who are appointed rather than on the person doing the appointing. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: [God appointed] or [is one whom God appointed]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

προσφέρῃ

˱he˲_/may_be/_offering

Here, the word he refers to the high priest that the author is discussing. In Israelite and Jewish culture, only men could be high priests, so he does refer to a man. However, the author is not emphasizing that the high priest is male, so you can use a word that refers to both men and women if it is clearer. Alternate translation: [this person may offer]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

δῶρά καὶ θυσίας

gifts (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πᾶς γὰρ ἀρχιερεὺς ἐξ ἀνθρώπων λαμβανόμενος ὑπὲρ ἀνθρώπων καθίσταται τὰ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν ἵνα προσφέρῃ δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίας ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν)

Here, the words gifts and sacrifices function together to refer to anything that an Israelite would have offered to God. It is probable that sacrifices refers to animals that would be killed and offered to God, while gifts identifies anything else that a person would give to God. If you do not have two words for these categories, you could use a single word or phrase to refer to what an Israelite would offer to God. Alternate translation: [sacrifices] or [things presented to God]
