OET (OET-LV) Therefore more_earnestly I_sent him, in_order_that having_seen him again, you_all_may_be_elated and_I less_anxious may_be.
OET (OET-RV) So I sent him willingly so that when you all see him again, you’ll all be very happy and I’ll be less anxious here.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
σπουδαιοτέρως οὖν ἔπεμψα αὐτὸν, ἵνα ἰδόντες αὐτὸν πάλιν, χαρῆτε κἀγὼ ἀλυπότερος ὦ
more_earnestly therefore ˱I˲_sent him in_order_that /having/_seen him again ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_elated and_I less_anxious may_be
Here, both occurrences of the pronoun him refer to Epaphroditus. If it would be helpful in your language, consider clarifying who him is referring to in a way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Therefore, I sent Epaphroditus all the more eagerly, so that, having seen him again, you might rejoice, and I might be free from pain”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
κἀγὼ ἀλυπότερος ὦ
and_I less_anxious may_be
Here when Paul refers to pain, he is referring to emotional pain. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of pain, you can express the idea behind the abstract noun pain with an adjective such as “anxious” or “concerned” or in some other way. Alternate translation: “and I might be less anxious” or “and I might be less concerned about you”
2:25-30 Paul commends Epaphroditus (see also 4:18), a messenger from the church at Philippi whom he was now sending back to them, perhaps carrying this letter.
• The description fellow soldier suggests the difficulties, opposition, and dangers encountered in Christ’s work.
OET (OET-LV) Therefore more_earnestly I_sent him, in_order_that having_seen him again, you_all_may_be_elated and_I less_anxious may_be.
OET (OET-RV) So I sent him willingly so that when you all see him again, you’ll all be very happy and I’ll be less anxious here.
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.
