OET interlinear GAL 4:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτε Δέ ἦλθεν τό πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ Θεός τόν Υἱόν αὐτοῦ γενόμενον ἐκ γυναικός γενόμενον ὑπό νόμον)

The word But is introducing a contrast between the time prior to when the fullness of time came, which Paul described before this verse, and the time after the fullness of time came, which Paul describes in this verse. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: [Instead,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτε Δέ ἦλθεν τό πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ Θεός τόν Υἱόν αὐτοῦ γενόμενον ἐκ γυναικός γενόμενον ὑπό νόμον)

The phrase the fullness of time means “the right time” or “the time that God appointed.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [the right time] or [the designated time] or [the appointed time]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

γενόμενον ἐκ γυναικός

˓having˒_become of woman

The phrase born from a woman is an idiom which means that someone is human. Because Jesus existed as God before he was born on earth, the emphasis here is that Jesus became human, in addition to being fully God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: [having taken on human nature] or [having been born as a human being]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γενόμενον ὑπὸ νόμον

˓having˒_become ˓having˒_become (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτε Δέ ἦλθεν τό πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ Θεός τόν Υἱόν αὐτοῦ γενόμενον ἐκ γυναικός γενόμενον ὑπό νόμον)

The phrase having been born under the law means that Jesus, as a Jew, was under the jurisdiction of the law of Moses and therefore it was necessary that he obey it. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [having been born under the jurisdiction and requirements of the law of Moses] or [having been born subject to the law of Moses]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπὸ νόμον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτε Δέ ἦλθεν τό πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ Θεός τόν Υἱόν αὐτοῦ γενόμενον ἐκ γυναικός γενόμενον ὑπό νόμον)

Here, the word under means “under the authority of” or “under the jurisdiction of.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. See how you translated the phrase under the law in [3:23](../03/23.md) where Paul uses the word under with the same meaning. Alternate translation: [under the authority of the law] or [under the jurisdiction of the law]
