UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί λέγει ἡ Γραφή

what /is/_saying the Scripture

Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form to get the Galatian believers to think about the scripture verse he cites next. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: "the scripture says,"

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

λέγει ἡ Γραφή

/is/_saying the Scripture

Here, Paul speaks of the specific scripture passage he is quoting from Genesis as though it were a person who is speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “does Moses say in the scripture” or “does Moses write in the scripture”

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

ἔκβαλε τὴν παιδίσκην καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς; οὐ γὰρ μὴ κληρονομήσει ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης, μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἐλευθέρας

cast_out the servant_girl and the son ˱of˲_her no for not /will_be/_inheriting the son ˱of˲_the servant_girl with the son ˱of˲_the free_‹woman›

This is a quotation from Genesis. Use a natural way in your language to indicate that this is a quotation.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔκβαλε

cast_out

Here, Cast out means to send away. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: "Banish" or "Remove from here"

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ & μὴ

no & not

The phrase certainly not translates two negative words in Greek. In the author’s culture, two negative words made the statement even more negative. If your language can use two negatives as the author’s culture did, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in this way, you could translate with one strong negative. Alternate translation: “by no means”
