UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

λαμβάνει τὴν τιμήν

/is/_taking the honor

Here, the word honor refers to the position that gives the person honor. This position is that of high priest. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea by referring to the position of high priest, if possible including the idea that this is an “honored” position. Alternate translation: [takes the honor of being a high priest]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν τιμήν

the honor

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of honor, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “honorable.” Alternate translation: [becoming honorable in this way]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλὰ

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 he receives this honor only by]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καλούμενος

/being/_called

Here, the phrase being called introduces something that could: (1) give the real reason why a person becomes a high priest. Alternate translation: [because he is called] (2) give the situation in which a person actually becomes a high priest. Alternate translation: [when he is called]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀλλὰ καλούμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καθώσπερ καὶ Ἀαρών

but /being/_called by ¬the God just_as also Aaron

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 called rather than on the person doing the calling. Alternate translation: [but only those whom God calls, just as he called Aaron]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καθώσπερ καὶ Ἀαρών

just_as also Aaron

Note 7 topic: translate-names

Ἀαρών

Aaron
