OET (OET-LV) You_all_were_running well, who hindered you_all, to_ not _be_being_persuaded by_the_truth?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐτρέχετε καλῶς
˱you_all˲_/were/_running well
Here Paul refers to becoming more spiritually mature as if someone were running a race. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You were making excellent progress in your faith” or “You were doing so well”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίς ὑμᾶς ἐνέκοψεν, ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι?
who you_all hindered ˱by˲_/the/_truth not /to_be_being/_persuaded
Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You should not have let someone hinder you, not to be persuaded by truth!”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι
˱by˲_/the/_truth not /to_be_being/_persuaded
This clause provides the expected result of what Paul said in the previous clause. Use a natural form for indicating a result. Alternate translation: “which is resulting in you not being persuaded by truth”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι
˱by˲_/the/_truth not /to_be_being/_persuaded
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you couldstate this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “so that the truth is not persuading you”
ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι
˱by˲_/the/_truth not /to_be_being/_persuaded
Alternate translation: “not to obey the truth”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἀληθείᾳ
˱by˲_/the/_truth
See how you translated truth in 2:5.
5:7 The life of faith is like running a race (cp. 1 Cor 9:24-27; Phil 3:13-14; 2 Tim 4:7-8). The law became a hindrance to the Galatians in this race rather than a help (cp. Luke 11:52).

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