OET (OET-LV) Behold, I Paulos am_saying to_you_all that if you_all _may_be_being_circumcised, chosen_one/messiah will_be_benefiting you_all nothing.
OET (OET-RV) What’s more, I Paul would add that even if you all got circumcised, then the messiah wouldn’t be of any benefit.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἴδε
behold
Paul uses the term Behold to focus his audience’s attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [Understand this!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε
if ˱you_all˲_/may_be_being/_circumcised
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. Alternate translation: [if someone circumcises you] or [if you receive circumcision]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει.
Christ you_all nothing /will_be/_benefiting
In this clause Paul means that if a person is circumcised in order to complete their salvation, then what Christ has done to provide salvation for them will not help them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [what Christ has done will not benefit you at all]
5:2 Paul reminded the Galatians of who was talking to them: the apostle of Christ who represented the Lord to the Gentiles and who had first proclaimed the Good News to them.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
