OET (OET-LV) But by the grace of_the the_master Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), we_are_believing to_be_saved also_those in which manner.
OET (OET-RV) But we ourselves have believed thanks to the grace of Yeshua the master, and they can be saved in just the same way.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι
˱we˲_/are/_believing /to_be/_saved
Peter is using a construction in which the object is implied. Since the object is the same as the subject of the verb, the construction calls for the relative pronoun ourselves. Your language may have its own way of expressing the same meaning. Alternate translation: “we believe that we will be saved”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι
˱we˲_/are/_believing /to_be/_saved
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: “we believe that God will save us”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι
˱we˲_/are/_believing /to_be/_saved
Peter is using the pronoun we and the implied pronoun ourselves to refer to himself and his listeners, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
διὰ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ
by the grace ˱of˲_the /the/_Lord Jesus
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “through what God has graciously done for us through the Lord Jesus”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
διὰ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ
by the grace ˱of˲_the /the/_Lord Jesus
Peter means implicitly that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus and not by obeying the law of Moses. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand the sentence. Alternate translation: “through the grace of the Lord Jesus and not by obeying the law of Moses”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καθ’ ὃν τρόπον κἀκεῖνοι
in which manner also_those
Peter is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “according to the way they also will be saved”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κἀκεῖνοι
also_those
Peter assumes that his listeners will know that he is using the pronoun they to refer to the Gentiles. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand this sentence. Alternate translation: “the Gentiles also will be saved”
15:4-21 The first council of the church met to resolve the dispute concerning Gentiles and circumcision (15:1-2).
OET (OET-LV) But by the grace of_the the_master Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), we_are_believing to_be_saved also_those in which manner.
OET (OET-RV) But we ourselves have believed thanks to the grace of Yeshua the master, and they can be saved in just the same way.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
