διὰ τοῦτο, διαθήκης καινῆς μεσίτης ἐστίν, ὅπως

because_of this ˱of˲_/a/_covenant new /the/_mediator ˱he˲_is so_that

Here, the phrase for this reason could refer: (1) back to what Christ has accomplished, which the author described in 9:14. Alternate translation: “since he has done those things, he is a mediator of a new covenant, so that” or “because of that, he is a mediator of a new covenant, so that” (2) forward to the idea that so that introduces. Alternate translation: “he is a mediator of a new covenant for this reason: so that” or “he is a mediator of a new covenant so that”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐστίν

˱he˲_is

Here, the word he refers to Christ. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Christ is”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

διαθήκης καινῆς μεσίτης ἐστίν

˱of˲_/a/_covenant new /the/_mediator ˱he˲_is

Here the author uses the possessive form to describe how Jesus functions as the mediator for a new covenant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea without using a possessive form. Alternate translation: “he mediates a new covenant”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὅπως θανάτου γενομένου εἰς ἀπολύτρωσιν τῶν ἐπὶ τῇ πρώτῃ διαθήκῃ παραβάσεων, τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν λάβωσιν οἱ κεκλημένοι τῆς αἰωνίου κληρονομίας

so_that death /having/_become for /the/_redemption ˱of˲_the concerning the first covenant transgressions the promise /may/_receive the_‹ones› /having_been/_called ˱of˲_the eternal inheritance

Here, the phrase a death having happened introduces something that occurs before the ones called receive the promise. In fact, the death allows or enables them to receive it. It may be more natural in your language to put the information about what believers receive before the information about what enables them to receive it. Alternate translation: “so that the ones called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance, a death having happened for redemption of the transgressions related to the first covenant”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

θανάτου γενομένου

death /having/_become

Here the author is referring to Jesus’ death on the cross. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Jesus having died on the cross”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ἀπολύτρωσιν τῶν & παραβάσεων

for /the/_redemption ˱of˲_the & transgressions

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind redemption, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “redeem.” Alternate translation: “in order to redeem the transgressions”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς ἀπολύτρωσιν τῶν & παραβάσεων

for /the/_redemption ˱of˲_the & transgressions

See how you translated the image of redemption in 9:12. Alternate translation: “as if he had paid a price to free his people from the transgressions”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῇ πρώτῃ διαθήκῃ

the first covenant

Here, the phrase first covenant refers to the agreement that God made with the Israelites through Moses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. See how you translated the similar phrase in 8:7. Alternate translation: “the covenant that God made with his people at first”

Note 9 topic: translate-ordinal

τῇ πρώτῃ διαθήκῃ

the first covenant

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: “covenant one“or “the earlier covenant”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οἱ κεκλημένοι

the_‹ones› /having_been/_called

The author is speaking as if God has literally called by name those whom he has chosen to be his people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the ones God has chosen to be his people”

Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ κεκλημένοι

the_‹ones› /having_been/_called

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 the ones who are called rather than on the person doing the calling. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: “the ones whom God called”

λάβωσιν

/may/_receive

Here the author may be indicating that the ones called are able to receive the promise: (1) at least partially right now. Alternate translation: “are receiving” (2) in the future. Alternate translation: “will receive”

Note 12 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν & τῆς αἰωνίου κληρονομίας

the promise & ˱of˲_the eternal inheritance

Here the author uses the possessive form to describe a promise whose content is the eternal inheritance. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea without using a possessive form. Alternate translation: “the promise, that is, the eternal inheritance” or “the promised eternal inheritance”

Note 13 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς αἰωνίου κληρονομίας

˱of˲_the eternal inheritance

Here the author speaks as if believers were children who would inherit property that a parent passes on to his or her child when the parent dies. He is not suggesting that believers will receive this inheritance after God dies, since God will never die. Rather, he speaks in this way to indicate that believers will receive what God promised. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “of what God gives his people forever”
