¬The ˱to˲_Moses for ˱he˲_/is/_saying

Here Paul uses this clause to introduce a quotation from an Old Testament book (Exodus 33:19).

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

λέγει & ἐλεήσω & ἐλεῶ & οἰκτειρήσω & οἰκτείρω

The pronouns he and I here refer to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [God says … ‘I, God, will have mercy … I will have mercy … I, God, will have compassion … I will have compassion’]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

˱he˲_/is/_saying

This sentence is a quotation from Exodus 33:19. 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 / abstractnouns

ἐλεήσω ὃν ἂν ἐλεῶ, καὶ οἰκτειρήσω ὃν ἂν οἰκτείρω

˱I˲_/will_be/_showing_mercy ˱to˲_whom ¬wishfully ˱I˲_/may_be/_showing_mercy and ˱I˲_/will_be/_having_compassion ˱to˲_whom ¬wishfully ˱I˲_/may_be/_having_compassion

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of mercy and compassion, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [I will act mercifully to whomever I will act mercifully, and I will act compassionately to whomever I will act compassionately]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἐλεήσω ὃν ἂν ἐλεῶ, καὶ οἰκτειρήσω ὃν ἂν οἰκτείρω

˱I˲_/will_be/_showing_mercy ˱to˲_whom ¬wishfully ˱I˲_/may_be/_showing_mercy and ˱I˲_/will_be/_having_compassion ˱to˲_whom ¬wishfully ˱I˲_/may_be/_having_compassion

These statements use parallelism internally and between each other. They emphasize that God does whatever he wants. If it would be helpful in your language, consider using another form that emphasizes that God is graciously kind to exactly those and only those to whom he chooses to show kindness, and he does so without outside influence.
