SIBI-P1 Translation G4821-01

let us reign together

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active subjunctive, 1st person plural (also attested in future active indicative 1st person plural form: "we will reign together").
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active subjunctive, first person plural, is best rendered as a hortatory expression, "let us," while preserving the compound sense of shared kingship inherent in συμ- (together with) and βασιλεύω (to reign). The rendering keeps the joint, royal authority central to the root meaning.
