OET interlinear GAL 2:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

μόνον τῶν πτωχῶν ἵνα μνημονεύωμεν

only ˱about˲_the poor that ˱we˲_/may_be/_remembering

Here, the word only introduces an exception clause that qualifies Paul’s statement at the end of 2:6 where Paul said that the leaders in Jerusalem added nothing to his message (meaning they did not require him to do or teach anything else). Use an appropriate form in your language so that it does not appear that Paul is making a statement here that contradicts his statement at the end of 2:6.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

μνημονεύωμεν

˱we˲_/may_be/_remembering

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 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν πτωχῶν & μνημονεύωμεν

˱about˲_the poor & ˱we˲_/may_be/_remembering

Here, remember the poor refers to remembering the material needs of the poor. If it would help your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “we should continue to remember to take care of the needs of the poor” or “we should continue to remember to help the poor with their needs”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πτωχῶν

poor

Paul is using the adjective poor as a noun in order to describe a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are poor”
