UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces a new section in the author’s argument. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a new section, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Next,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κεφάλαιον & ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις

/the/_point & in the_‹things› /being/_spoken

Here the author could be referring implicitly to the point or most significant idea in: (1) everything he is writing, including what follows. Alternate translation: “the most significant thing in what I am saying is this” (2) what he has already said, not including what follows. Alternate translation: “the most significant thing in what I have said is this”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τοῖς λεγομένοις

the_‹things› /being/_spoken

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 what is being said rather than on the person doing the saying. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that he himself did it. Alternate translation: “the things that I am saying is this” or “the things that I have said is this”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

τοιοῦτον & ἀρχιερέα

such & /a/_chief_priest

Here, the word such refers back to what the author has already said about how Jesus is a priest, particularly the words in 7:26–28. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the reference of such more explicit. Alternate translation: “the kind of high priest I have described, one”

Note 5 topic: translate-symaction

ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ

sat_down on /the/_right

When someone sits at the right hand of God (the Majesty), this symbolizes that person’s honor, authority, and ability to rule. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea explicitly. Alternate translation: “he sat down to rule at the right hand” or “he took the place of honor and authority at the right hand”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θρόνου

on /the/_right ˱of˲_the throne

Here, the phrase at the right hand refers to the place next to a person’s right hand, which would be the “right side.” In the author’s culture, this side was associated with honor or authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the “right side.” Make sure that your readers understand that this side indicates that Jesus has honor and authority when he sits there. Alternate translation: “at the right side of the throne” or “in the honorable place next to the throne”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

τῆς Μεγαλωσύνης

˱of˲_the Majesty

In the author’s culture, it was considered reverent to avoid saying God’s name. Here the author uses Majesty instead of God’s name in order to follow this custom and to indicate that God is powerful and glorious. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a reverent way of referring to God in your culture, especially if that way emphasizes how God is powerful and glorious. Alternate translation: “of the great deity” or “of the glorious God”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς

on in the heavens

Many people in the author’s culture believed that the space that they called “heaven” contained multiple layers or spheres of individual heavens. Here, the author refers to how God’s throne can be found in the heavens. Since the author does not include details about the heavens, translate heavens with a word or phrase that refers to all of heavenly space, including the idea of multiple heavens if possible. Alternate translation: “in the heavenly realm” or “in the heavenly spaces”
