OET (OET-RV) That’s also why I wasn’t able to come to see you Romans,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:22–33: Paul planned to visit Rome

In this section, Paul explained his plan to go to Spain and visit the believers in Rome on the way. He also explained that he was currently going to Jerusalem with a gift of money for the poor believers there from the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. Once he was finished with that, he planned to go to Spain.

Paul asked the believers in Rome to pray for him. Paul wanted to avoid being blocked in his ministry by Jews who did not believe in Jesus. He also asked them to pray that the gift he was taking to Jerusalem would be acceptable to the believers there. If it was, he would have joy and be able to enjoy his visit with the believers in Rome.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

Paul wanted to visit the believers in Rome on his way to Spain

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome (NIV)

15:22

That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

That is why: This phrase probably introduces a result of God causing him to be the apostle who preaches in new places among the Gentiles (15:18–20). Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

For this/that reason

Therefore

You may want to make the connection to 15:18–20 clear:

But if the major language translation translates without explaining in any way, you may want to do the same.

I have often been hindered: This clause is passive. Probably included in what hindered him are the needs of the ministry,See Moo (page 899). Similarly Cranfield (page 766) calls it “the demands of his missionary labours,” and Dunn (page 871) calls it “Paul’s busyness.” negative circumstances,Jewett (page 922) begins his list with “imprisonments, injuries, shipwrecks….” or God’s will.Schreiner (page 744). Some languages must use an active clause. Use a general term for what hindered Paul. For example:

Things/Situations have often hindered me

hindered: This word refers to preventing something from happening. Here are other ways to translate this word:

prevented (NJB)

stopped/blocked

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό καί ἐνεκοπτόμην τά πολλά τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρός ὑμᾶς)

The word Therefore indicates that what follows is a logical conclusion. Here, Therefore indicates that what follows is the result of Paul’s desire to preach the gospel in places where people have never heard it before. Use a natural way in your language for indicating result. Alternate translation (without a comma following): [For this reason] or [This is the reason why]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ ἐνεκοπτόμην

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό καί ἐνεκοπτόμην τά πολλά τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρός ὑμᾶς)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [those things also prevented me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμᾶς

you_all

Here, you is plural and refers to the believers in Rome to whom Paul was writing this letter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [you believers who are in Rome]
