1.8 Sed licet nos, etc. Bonus angelus potest intelligi, non quod hoc contingat, sed adeo certus est de veritate Evangelii sui, quod si etiam angelus aliud nuntiaret, non crederet, sed anathematizaret. Præterquam quod. AUG. Attende. Non ait: Plus quam accepistis. Nam si illud diceret, sibi ipsi præjudicaret, qui cupiebat venire ad quosdam, quibus ipse scribebat: sicut ad Thessalonicenses, ut suppleret quæ illorum fidei deerant. Sed qui supplet, quod minus erat addit; non quod inerat, tollit. Qui autem prætergreditur fidei regulam, non accedit in via, sed recedit a via. Anathema sit. Quare hoc? Quia aliud evangelizans, de privato vult fluere, non de medio. Et cum hoc homo carnali nebula præpeditus, et a fonte communi ad propriam suam falsitatem reductus possit facere, nunquid et angelus? Vere si angelus de proprio fluens in paradiso non esset auditus, non præcipitaremur in mortem. Media aqua posita erat omnibus præceptum Dei. Aqua quodammodo publica erat, et sine fraude, sine labe, sine cœno fluebat. Sed venit angelus de cœlo lapsus serpens factus, quia insidiose jam venenum spargere cupiebat, et emisit venenum. De proprio locutus est, de suo: Gustate, et eritis sicut dii Gen. 3.. Et illi appetentes quod non erant, amiserunt quod acceperunt. Anathema. Hoc verbum pro maledicto ponitur, et vulgo dicitur devotio. Nam devotare se quemque nemo fere dicit, nisi se maledicens. Unde illud: Et anathematizavit eum et civitates ejus, et vocatum est nomen loci illius Anathema Num. 21.. Hinc tractum est ut anathema detestabile aliquid et abominabile videatur, ut nihil inde victor in usus suos auferret, sed totum in pœnam luendam votavit: hoc erat anathematizare, quod vulgo dicitur devotare. Origo autem hujus verbi est in Græca lingua ab his rebus quæ votæ et persolutæ, id est promissæ et redditæ sursum ponebantur in templis: et est dictum: id est sursum ponere.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἢ ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εὐαγγελίζηται ὑμῖν παρ’ ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα ὑμῖν, ἀνάθεμα ἔστω

even if we or /an/_angel out_of heaven (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἢ ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ὑμῖν εὐαγγελίζηται παρʼ ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα ὑμῖν ἀνάθεμα ἔστω)

The word if introduces a hypothetical situation. Paul uses a hypothetical situation to warn the Galatians against any teaching that is contrary to the original gospel message which he taught them. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “if it were to happen that we or an angel from heaven might proclaim to you a gospel other than the one we proclaimed to you, let whoever would do that be cursed” or “suppose it were to happen that we or an angel from heaven might proclaim to you a gospel other than the one we proclaimed to you. Let whoever would do that be cursed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμεῖς & εὐηγγελισάμεθα

we & ˱we˲_gospel_preached

When Paul says we here, he is not including the Galatians, so we would be exclusive. Your language may require you to mark these forms.

ἡμεῖς

Alternate translation: “I or my co-laborers in the gospel”

εὐαγγελίζηται ὑμῖν

/may_be/_gospel_preaching (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἢ ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ὑμῖν εὐαγγελίζηται παρʼ ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα ὑμῖν ἀνάθεμα ἔστω)

Alternate translation: “might proclaim to you a gospel message” or “might proclaim to you a message of good news”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παρ’ ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα

contrary_to what ˱we˲_gospel_preached

Here, the phrase the one refers to the gospel message that Paul and his co-laborers had proclaimed to the Galatians. IIf it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “different from the gospel we proclaimed” or “different from the message we proclaimed”

ἀνάθεμα ἔστω

/a/_curse ˱him˲_let_be

If your language has a common way of asking God to curse someone or of calling down a curse on someone, and it would be appropriate to use in this context, consider using it here.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀνάθεμα ἔστω

/a/_curse ˱him˲_let_be

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of someone being cursed, you could express the same idea with a verbal form such as “curse.” Alternate translation: “let God curse him”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀνάθεμα ἔστω

/a/_curse ˱him˲_let_be

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” is the one who will do it. Alternate translation: “let God curse him”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνάθεμα ἔστω

/a/_curse ˱him˲_let_be

Although the term him is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “let God curse that person”
