OET interlinear GAL 2:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces a contrast. The actions that Paul will describe in 2:11-13 are in contrast to the decision that was made in 2:1-10. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast.

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτε & ἦλθεν Κηφᾶς εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν, κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῷ ἀντέστην, ὅτι κατεγνωσμένος ἦν

when & came Cephas to Antioch to /his/_face ˱against˲_him ˱I˲_resisted because /having_been/_condemned ˱he˲_was

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “because Cephas stood condemned, I opposed him to his face when he came to Antioch”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἦλθεν

came

Your language may say “went” rather than came in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “went”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῷ ἀντέστην

to /his/_face ˱against˲_him ˱I˲_resisted

The phrase opposed him to his face is an idiom which means to confront someone. It could refer specifically to: (1) confronting someone directly, face to face. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “I confronted him directly” or “I confronted him face to face” (2) confronting someone in public. (See the phrase “I said to Cephas in front of all of them” in 2:14). Alternate translation: “I confronted him in public”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατεγνωσμένος ἦν

/having_been/_condemned ˱he˲_was

Here, the phrase he stood condemned means that “he was deserving of blame” or “he was wrong.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “he was deserving of blame” or “he was wrong”
