Here, cut off refers to being separated from Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You have ended your relationship with Christ] or [You are separated from Christ]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε

whoever in ˓the˒_law ˓are_being˒_justified

Paul implies that these people were trying to be justified by obeying the law, which is impossible. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [whoever attempts to be justified by obeying the law]

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς χάριτος ἐξεπέσατε

˱from˲_the grace ˱you_all˲_fell_from

Here Paul speaks of grace as if it were something that a person could fall away from. He means that people who are trying to save themselves by obeying the law do not receive God’s grace. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you have rejected the grace of God] or [God will no longer be gracious to you]
