8:19-21 All creation includes animals, plants, and the earth itself. Paul follows Old Testament precedent (see especially Ps 65:12-13; Isa 24:4; Jer 4:28; 12:4) by personifying the created world.
• waiting eagerly . . . looks forward: Just as the entire world was harmed by Adam’s fall into sin, it will share in the blessings that God has promised his people (e.g., Isa 4:2, Rev 21:1-2).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις ἐλευθερωθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς, εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης
itself the creation /will_be_being/_freed from the slavery ¬the ˱of˲_corruption into the freedom ˱of˲_the glory
Here Paul speaks of the creation as if it were a person who was enslaved to someone and needed to be freed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the creation itself will no longer decay, but will experience the glory”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις ἐλευθερωθήσεται
itself the creation /will_be_being/_freed
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: “God will free the creation itself”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἡ κτίσις
the creation
See how you translated the creation in the previous two verses.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς & τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης
the slavery ¬the ˱of˲_corruption & the freedom ˱of˲_the glory
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of slavery, decay, freedom, and glory, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “being enslaved to decay … being free to experience what is glorious”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς
the slavery ¬the ˱of˲_corruption
Paul is using the possessive form to describe slavery to decay. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “being enslaved to decay”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς
the slavery ¬the ˱of˲_corruption
Here Paul speaks of decay as if it could enslave someone. He means that the creation was certain to decay. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “being destined to decay”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν
into the freedom
Here Paul speaks of freedom as if it were a location someone could enter into. Paul means that the creation will experience this freedom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to experience the freedom”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης
the freedom ˱of˲_the glory
Paul is using the possessive form to describe the freedom that relates to the glory. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “the freedom that comes from the glory” or “the freedom pertaining to the glory”
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τῆς δόξης τῶν τέκνων τοῦ Θεοῦ
the ¬the ˱of˲_the glory ˱of˲_the children ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here Paul uses the possessive form the glory of the children of God to refer to the glory that God shares with believers. This was the same glory that God shared with humans when he created them, but which they lost when the first humans sinned, as mentioned in 3:23. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “of the glory that God gives the children of God”
Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῶν τέκνων τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱of˲_the children ¬the ˱of˲_God
See how you translated this phrase in the 8:16.
