ULT (for the law perfected nothing), and on the other hand is the introduction of a better hope, through which we come near to God.

On the other hand, God caused that we could confidently expect better things than we could expect by obeying God’s laws. He did that by his establishing Christ as priest. Now by means of Christ sacrificing himself for us we can come near to God.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces support for how the “former commandment” is “weak and useless” (See: 7:18). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable word or phrase that introduces support for a claim. Alternate translation: “indeed,” or “that is because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

οὐδὲν & ἐτελείωσεν ὁ νόμος

nothing & perfected the law

Here the author speaks of the law as if it were a person who was ineffective and could “perfect” nothing. He speaks in this way to indicate that the system of laws that God gave through Moses, particularly the laws about priests, did not lead to people or things becoming “perfect.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the law was not something that people could follow to become perfect” or “nothing was perfected through Moses’ law”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

on_the_other_hand

Here, the phrase on the other hand introduces the second part of the author’s explanation. Make sure you translate this phrase so that it works well with how you translated “on the one hand” in 7:18. Alternate translation: “and second, there”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπεισαγωγὴ & κρείττονος ἐλπίδος

/the/_introduction & ˱of˲_/a/_better hope

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of introduction and hope, you could express the idea by using verbs such as “introduce” and “hope.” Alternate translation: “God introduces something better for which we hope”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

κρείττονος ἐλπίδος

˱of˲_/a/_better hope

Here, the word hope refers to the contents of the hope, or what believers confidently expect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that the author is referring to the contents of this hope. Alternate translation: “of the better things that we hope for”
