UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

πᾶς γὰρ

every for

Here, the word For introduces an explanation of what the author has said in 8:1–2 about how Christ is a high priest. This explanation continues in the following verses and compares and contrasts Christ with the Levitical priests. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Further, every” or “Now I will say more about high priests: Every”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πᾶς & ἀρχιερεὺς

every & chief_priest

Here, the phrase every high priest refers to all the descendants of Levi and Aaron who served as high priests. It does not refer to every high priest in every culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “every Israelite high priest”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πᾶς & ἀρχιερεὺς & καθίσταται

every & chief_priest & /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 appoints every high priest”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίας

gifts both and sacrifices

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. See you how you translated the same phrase in 5:1. Alternate translation: “sacrifices” or “things presented to God”

ἀναγκαῖον ἔχειν & καὶ τοῦτον

necessary /to_be/_having & also ˱for˲_this_‹one›

Alternate translation: “this one also must have” or “God requires this one also to have”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτον

˱for˲_this_‹one›

Here, the phrase this one refers back to Jesus, whom the author described in 8:1–2. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make explicit that the pronoun refers to Jesus. Alternate translation: “this high priest” or “Jesus, our high priest,”
