SIBI-P1 G5463-15
you all enter-into-joy (or: that you all might be gladdened)
| Morphological Notes | Forms include aorist middle imperative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,MAP2,,P,) and aorist passive subjunctive, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,SAP2,,P,). Aorist tense conveys a decisive or complete action; middle voice (imperative form) implies personal participation; passive subjunctive expresses potential or purpose with 2nd person plural subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of χαίρω as entering into or expressing joy. The aorist imperative (2nd person plural, middle) is reflected in the command "you all enter-into-joy," conveying a decisive call to rejoice with personal involvement. The aorist passive subjunctive (2nd person plural) is reflected in "that you all might be gladdened," preserving the potential sense and passive form while recognizing the verb’s deponent character. |
