JND Translation Notes

c
Or, perhaps, "the Lord and [the] Father." The form of the phrase must be noted. it is one article with two nouns, and so they are in some respect one, perhaps here only in respect of the blessing.

W. Kelly Translation

Therewith we bless the Lord and [the] Fathera, and therewith we curse men that are made according to God’s likeness.

WK Translation Notes

a
There is but one article to "Lord and Father." Grammatically therefore the phrase admits of meaning "Him Who is Lord and Father," no less than "the Lord and (the) Father" brought together under that link of objects united here expressly though in themselves distinct. This they could not be fittingly unless there were a common nature and glory. So we may see in such a phrase as "the kingdom of God and Christ." Far be it from the heart or mouth to question in the least that Christ is God, which is declared comparatively so often. It was the rarity of the combination, however taken, which no doubt led to substituting "God" as in the common text, following the more modern MSS. for "the Lord." But if we accept the ancient reading, our language, we must bear in mind, does not, like the Greek, admit but one article. The RV accepts "Lord" for God of the KJV.
