T4T “Therefore, my fellow Israelis and other friends, it is important for you to know that we(exc) are declaring to you that God can forgive you for your sins as a result of what Jesus has done. Because of what Jesus has done, God considers that everyone who believes in Jesus is no longer guilty (OR, the record has been erased {God has erased the record}) concerning everything that they have done that displeased God. But when God does that for you, it is not as a result of your obeying the laws that Moses wrote.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

γνωστὸν & ἔστω ὑμῖν

known & ˱it˲_let_be ˱to˲_you_all

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “may it be known to you” or “you should know”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί

men brothers

This is an idiomatic form of address. Use a way that is natural in your language to refer to a particular group of people. Alternate translation: “my brothers”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Paul is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. He is addressing the people in the synagogue who are his fellow-Jews and followers of Judaism. They are not Christian believers at this point. He may also be using the word brothers as a term of friendship for the Gentiles who are present. Alternate translation, as in UST: “my fellow Israelites and other friends”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

τούτου

this_‹one›

The demonstrative pronoun this one refers to Jesus. Alternate translation: “Jesus”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται, καὶ

˱to˲_you_all ˱to˲_you_all forgiveness ˱of˲_sins /is_being/_proclaimed and

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “we are proclaiming forgiveness of sins to you”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων

˱to˲_you_all ˱to˲_you_all forgiveness ˱of˲_sins /is_being/_proclaimed and from all_‹things›

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “release of sins is proclaimed to you, and release is also proclaimed to you from the guilt of everything”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ἐν νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι

all_‹things› ˱of˲_which not ˱you_all˲_/were/_able in /the/_law ˱of˲_Moses /to_be/_justified

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “everything that you were not able to do in obedience to the law of Moses”
