OET interlinear GAL 4:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γέγραπται

˱it˲_˓has_been˒_written

Here, Paul uses it is written to mean that it is written in the Old Testament Scriptures. Paul assumes that his readers will understand this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is referring to an important text. Alternate translation: [it has been written in the Scriptures]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

˱it˲_˓has_been˒_written

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Moses did it. Alternate translation: [Moses wrote] or [Moses wrote in the Scriptures]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

Ἀβραὰμ δύο υἱοὺς ἔσχεν; ἕνα ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης, καὶ ἕνα ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: γέγραπται Γάρ ὅτι Ἀβραάμ δύο υἱούς ἔσχεν ἕνα ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης καί ἕνα ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας)

In this verse and in all of [4:23](../04/23.md) Paul is summarizing a story from the book of Genesis and is not directly quoting scripture, so you should not use quotation marks or anything else that might cause your readers to think that Paul is directly quoting scripture here.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἕνα ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης, καὶ ἕνα ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας

one of the servant_girl one of the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: γέγραπται Γάρ ὅτι Ἀβραάμ δύο υἱούς ἔσχεν ἕνα ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης καί ἕνα ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας)

In both instances in the phrases one by the slave girl and one by the free woman, Paul is using the adjective “one” as a noun in order to indicate a specific kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could add the word “son” to show Paul's meaning. Alternate translation: [one son by the slave girl and one son by the free woman]
