UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

γνόντες τὴν χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι

/having/_known the grace ¬which /having_been/_given ˱to˲_me

The abstract noun *grace refers to God graciously giving Paul the task of proclaiming the gospel to non-Jews. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea with an adverb such as "graciously" or "kindly," or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “having understood the task that God had graciously given to me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὴν δοθεῖσάν

the ¬which /having_been/_given

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “that God gave”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οἱ δοκοῦντες στῦλοι εἶναι

the_‹ones› supposing pillars to_be

Here, pillars refers to James, Cephas, and John, who were leaders of the believers in Jerusalem. In that culture important leaders of a group were sometimes referred to as pillars because of the support that they provided to the group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly.

Note 4 topic: translate-symaction

δεξιὰς ἔδωκαν ἐμοὶ καὶ Βαρναβᾷ κοινωνίας, ἵνα ἡμεῖς εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς τὴν περιτομήν

/the/_right_‹hands› ˱they˲_gave ˱to˲_me and Barnabas ˱of˲_fellowship in_order_that we_‹may_go› to the pagans they and to the circumcision

Here, gave the right hand is an action that indicates agreement. Shaking hands indicated that they agreed with each other and were pledging to work together as ministry partners toward the same goal. Essentially, they agreed to be in fellowship, and shaking each other's right hand indicated this. If there is a gesture with similar meaning in your culture, you could consider using it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “affirming that we to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κοινωνίας

˱of˲_fellowship

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of fellowship, you could express the same idea in some other way that is natural in your language.

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

The phrase so that introduces a purpose clause. Paul is stating the purpose for which James and Cephas and John … gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and Paul. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation: “in order that”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἡμεῖς εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς τὴν περιτομήν

we_‹may_go› to the pagans they and to the circumcision

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. The words he is leaving out are probably “go” or “proclaim the good news.” If it would help your readers, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “we would go to the Gentiles, and they would go the circumcision” or “we would proclaim the good news to the Gentiles, and they would proclaim the good news to the circumcision”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμεῖς

we_‹may_go›

When Paul says we here, he is not including the Galatians, so we would be exclusive. Your language may require you to mark these forms.

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὴν περιτομήν

the ¬which the circumcision

See how you translated the phrase the circumcision in 2:7.
