tribulation and distress on every soul ˱of˲_human_origin ¬which producing ¬the evil

Paul speaks of Tribulation and distress as if these ideas were located on top of a person. He means that every evil person will experience Tribulation and distress. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Every human soul that produces the evil will experience tribulation and distress]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

θλῖψις καὶ στενοχωρία

tribulation and distress

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of Tribulation and distress, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [Difficult and distressing times]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

θλῖψις καὶ στενοχωρία

tribulation and distress

These two words mean basically the same thing. Paul uses them to emphasize how intense God’s judgment will be against these people. If your language does not use repetition in this way, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: [Distressing tribulation] or [Intense distress]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

πᾶσαν ψυχὴν ἀνθρώπου

every soul ˱of˲_human_origin

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπου

˱of˲_human_origin

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τὸ κακόν

¬the evil

Paul is using the adjective evil as a noun in order to describe things people do. If your language does not use adjectives in the same way, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [what is evil] or [things that are evil]

Ἰουδαίου τε πρῶτον καὶ Ἕλληνος

˱of˲_Jew both first and ˱of˲_Greek
