ROM 15:21 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

15:21 Quoting Isaiah 52:15

TCNT but as it is written,
⇔ “Those who were not told about him will see,
⇔ and those who have not heard will understand.”

T4T On the contrary, I teach non-Jews, so that what happens may be like what was written {the prophet Isaiah wrote} in the Scriptures about the Messiah: “Those who did not hear about him previously will know the truth about him. Truly, those who have not heard about him will hear and understand his message [DOU].”

LEB • but just as it is written,“Those to whom it was not announced concerning him will see, • and those who have not heard will understand.”[fn]

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

ἀλλὰ

but

The word But introduces a contrast. Here, But indicates that what follows is the opposite of what Paul said in the last clause of the previous verse. Use the best way in your language to indicate a strong contrast. Alternate translation: [On the contrary,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀλλὰ καθὼς γέγραπται

but as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

In this verse Paul quotes Scripture to state that he preaches the gospel to those who have never heard it, which he also stated in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [Instead of doing that, I aspire to preach the gospel where it has not been preached before. Doing so is just as it is written]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

See how you translated this phrase in 1:17.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Since Paul is referring to something Isaiah wrote, you could indicate Isaiah as the subject. Alternate translation: [just as Isaiah wrote]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

οἷς οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη περὶ αὐτοῦ, ὄψονται, καὶ οἳ οὐκ ἀκηκόασιν, συνήσουσιν

˱to˲_whom not ˱it˲_/was/_declared concerning him ˱they˲_/will_be/_seeing and ˱those˲_who not /have/_heard ˱they˲_/will_be/_understanding

This sentence is a quotation from Isaiah 52:15. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

οἷς οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη περὶ αὐτοῦ, ὄψονται, καὶ οἳ οὐκ ἀκηκόασιν, συνήσουσιν

˱to˲_whom not ˱it˲_/was/_declared concerning him ˱they˲_/will_be/_seeing and ˱those˲_who not /have/_heard ˱they˲_/will_be/_understanding

These two clauses mean the same thing. Isaiah says the same thing twice, in slightly different ways, to emphasize that non-Jewish people will hear about the Messiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: [Those who have not heard about him will certainly understand]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἷς οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη περὶ αὐτοῦ

˱to˲_whom not ˱it˲_/was/_declared concerning him

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Those to whom no one had reported concerning him]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὄψονται & συνήσουσιν

˱they˲_/will_be/_seeing & ˱they˲_/will_be/_understanding

Isaiah implies that the non-Jewish people who never heard about the Messiah will understand who the Messiah is and what he has done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [will see who the Messiah is … will understand who he is]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὄψονται

˱they˲_/will_be/_seeing

Paul quotes Isaiah using see to refer to perceiving something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [will perceive]
