BI Gal 3:15 ©

OET (OET-RV)Brothers and sisters, consider our human ways: once an agreement has been accepted, one party can’t just reject it now or add conditions.

OET-LVBrothers, I_am_speaking according_to human_origin.
Likewise a_covenant of_a_human having_been_confirmed, no_one is_rejecting or is_adding_conditions.

SR-GNTἈδελφοί, κατὰ ἄνθρωπον λέγω. Ὅμως ἀνθρώπου κεκυρωμένην διαθήκην, οὐδεὶς ἀθετεῖ ἐπιδιατάσσεται.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατὰ ἄνθρωπον

according_to human_origin

Here, Paul uses the phrase according to man to mean that he is speaking in accord with the manner of human practice. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “according to human practice” or “with a human analogy from human legal practice” or “using an analogy from standard daily life”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

κατὰ ἄνθρωπον

according_to human_origin

Although the term man is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women and refers to humans in general. If your readers would misunderstand this you can indicate this explicitly. Alternate translation: “according to human practice” or “using an analogy from standard human practice”

ὅμως

likewise

Alternate translation: "Even so"

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀνθρώπου κεκυρωμένην

˱of˲_/a/_human /having_been/_confirmed

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: “which people have established” or “which men have established”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ἀνθρώπου κεκυρωμένην διαθήκην, οὐδεὶς ἀθετεῖ ἢ ἐπιδιατάσσεται

˱of˲_/a/_human /having_been/_confirmed /a/_covenant no_one /is/_rejecting or /is/_adding_conditions

Paul is speaking of people in general, not of one particular person. If your readers would misunderstand this, use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: “no one sets aside or adds to a covenant which people have established”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπου

˱of˲_/a/_human

Although the term man is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women and refers to people in general. If your readers would misunderstand this you can indicate this explicitly. Alternate translation: “by people”
