OET interlinear GAL 2:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

εἴξαμεν

˱we˲_yielded

When Paul says we, he is not including the Galatian believers, so we would be exclusive. Your language may require you to mark these forms.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἷς οὐδὲ & εἴξαμεν τῇ ὑποταγῇ

˱to˲_whom not_even & ˱we˲_yielded ¬the ˱in˲_submission

Here, to not … yield in submission means to not agree with and comply with the demands of the people who said that Titus needed to be circumcised. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “we did not give in to their demands” or “we did not comply with what they wanted us to do”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἴξαμεν τῇ ὑποταγῇ

˱we˲_yielded ¬the ˱in˲_submission

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of submission, you could express the same idea with a verbal phrase, or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὥραν

/an/_hour

Here, the phrase an hour refers to a short period of time. If you have an equivalent expression in your culture, you could use that, or if it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate Paul’s meaning in plain language. Alternate translation: “a short period of time” or “a short amount of time”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

The phrase so that introduces a purpose clause. Paul is stating the purpose for which Paul and his ministry partners did not even yield in submission to those who taught that circumcision was necessary. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation: “in order that”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ εὐαγγελίου

the truth ˱of˲_the gospel

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea with an adjective such as “true” or “correct,” or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ εὐαγγελίου

the truth ˱of˲_the gospel

Here, the possessive form is used to describe the truth that belongs to and is contained within the gospel message. It is also being used to contrast the genuine and correct gospel with false gospels such as the one Paul is refuting in this letter. If this is not clear in your language, you could clarify the relationship for your readers.
