8.11 Non docebit. Quod latebat in littera, et discebat populus per traditiones magistrorum, hoc Spiritus adveniens docuit apostolos, et hoc est quod Propheta dicit: Non docebit unusquisque proximum, quia omnes scient Jer. 31.; sicut in Evangelio dicitur: Tunc aperuit eis sensum Luc. 24., etc. Majorem. Majores intellige vel tempore: ut priores qui nos posteriores exspectaverunt in denario accipiendo; vel scientia, vel virtute digniores, qui scilicet intelligere valuerunt lumen incorporeum atque incommutabile, quantum in hac vita potest: quod minores tamen credere potuerunt. Cum ergo venerit quod perfectum est, et evacuatum fuerit quod ex parte est, tunc qui assumpta carne carni apparuit, ostendet seipsum dilectoribus suis. Tunc omnes scient eum a minore usque ad majorem, quia etiam minimus tunc perfecte sciet, cum per se, non a majore instructus erit.

8.11 Non docebit. That latebat in littera, and discebat populus through traditiones magistrorum, this Spiritus adveniens docuit apostolos, and this it_is that Propheta he_says: Non docebit unusquisque proximum, because everyone scient Yer. 31.; like in Evangelio it_is_said: Tunc aperuit to_them sensum Luc. 24., etc. Mayorem. Mayores intellige or tempore: as priores who we posteriores exspectaverunt in denario accipiendo; or scientia, or virtute digniores, who scilicet intelligere valuerunt lumen incorporeum atque incommutabile, quantum in hac vita potest: that minores tamen credere potuerunt. Since therefore venerit that perfectum it_is, and evacuatum has_been that from in_part/partly it_is, tunc who assumpta carne carni apparuit, ostendet seipsum dilectoribus to_his_own. Tunc everyone scient him from minore until to mayorem, because also minimus tunc perfecte sciet, when/with through se, not/no from mayore instructus will_be.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: [by no means]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἕκαστος τὸν πολίτην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ

each the citizen ˱of˲_him and each the brother ˱of˲_him

Here the quotation includes two phrases that mean almost the same thing. One phrase refers to a fellow citizen, and the other refers to a brother. This was considered good poetry in the author’s culture. If this would not be good poetry in your culture, and if the repetition would be confusing, you could combine the two phrases. Alternate translation: [each one his brother] or [each one the person closest to him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

αὐτοῦ & τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_him & the brother ˱of˲_him

Although his and brother are masculine, they refer to anyone, whether male or female. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words that apply to both men and women or you could refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [his or her … his or her sibling]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγων, γνῶθι τὸν Κύριον

saying know the /the/_Lord

If a direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. If you use the following alternate translation, you will need to remove the quotation marks. Alternate translation: [saying that he should know the Lord]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

γνῶθι

know

Because each one is speaking to one person, the imperative Know is singular here.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου αὐτῶν

from /the/_little to great ˱of˲_them

Here God speaks figuratively, using the least and the greatest in order to include both extremes and every person in between. By speaking in this way, he includes every person who is part of his people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [every single one of them] or [including people of every status]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

μικροῦ & μεγάλου

/the/_little & great

The author is using the adjectives least and greatest as nouns in order to refer to people who have the least and the most importance and power in a society.Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these with noun phrases. Alternate translation: [the least important person … the most important person]
