JMNT(i)
8 For I am saying and laying out the idea [
that]
Christ has been birthed to become, and remain, a Servant and Dispenser from circumcision (or: an Attendant, Helper and Minister of and pertaining to [the] Circumcision [i.e., God’s covenant people]),
over [
the situation of]
God's reality (or: Circumcision's Dispenser of provisions for the sake of a truth from and about God, and a reality which is God),
into the standing to confirm (stabilize; make good; cause to stand by stepping in place on a good footing; or: to guarantee the validity of)
the promises from, which pertain to, and which belong to, the fathers (or: the patriarchal promises),
9 and on the other hand [
to place on good footing and confirm the standing of]
the ethnic multitudes (the nations; the non-Israelites; the pagans), [
for them]
to glorify God (to enhance the reputation of and the opinion about God)
over [
the situation of]
mercy (for the sake of [His] mercy),
just as it has been written, "Because of this I will continue openly professing and acclaiming You (speaking out of the same word for and to You; agreeing and promising)
within ethnic multitudes (among nations that are pagans and Gentiles),
and I will continue playing music (striking the string; making melody; singing with musical accompaniment)
to, for and in Your Name." [
2 Sam. 22:50;
Ps. 18:50]
10 And again he is saying, "Be of a good frame of mind (Be merry and glad; Have thoughts of wellness),
you ethnic multitudes (non-Jews),
together with His people." [
Deut. 32:43]
11 And again, "You folks – all the multitudes (all nations; all of the Gentiles) –
be continually praising the Lord [= Yahweh].
" [
Ps. 117:1]
12 And again, Isaiah is saying, "There (or: He)
will continue being The Root (or: the Sprout from the root)
of Jesse, even the One habitually standing up (placing Himself back; raising Himself up)
to continue being Ruler (being The Chief; to repeatedly be the Beginner)
of multitudes (of nations; of Gentiles).
Upon Him ethnic multitudes (non-Jews; nations)
will continue placing their expectation (will rely; will hope).
" [
Isa. 11:10]
