UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here Paul is using the word Now to introduce new information. Use a natural form for introducing new information. Alternate translation: “And”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἰ & ἄρα

if & consequently

Paul is using an if … then statement to express a hypothetical condition and what the result is for those people who meet the requirement of the condition. Paul is telling the Galatians that if they belong to Christ, then they are Abraham's spiritual descendants. Use a natural form in your language for expressing a hypothetical condition.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμεῖς & ἐστέ

you_all_‹are› & ˱you_all˲_are

Here, both occurrences of the word you are plural and refer to the Galatian believers. Your language may require you to mark these forms as plural.

ὑμεῖς Χριστοῦ

you_all_‹are› ˱of˲_Christ

Alternate translation: “you are Christ’s” or “you belong to Christ”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σπέρμα

/the/_seed

Here, the term seed means offspring. It is a word picture. Just as plants produce seeds that can grow into many more plants, so people can have many offspring. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. See how you translated the word seed in 3:16 where it is used with a similar meaning. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “offspring”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κληρονόμοι

heirs

Paul speaks of believers, who are the spiritual descendants of Abraham, as if they were heirs who were to inherit property and wealth from a family member. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατ’ ἐπαγγελίαν κληρονόμοι

according_to /the/_promise heirs

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly what the heirs will inherit. Alternate translation: “heirs of what God promised to Abraham and his descendants”

κατ’

according_to

Alternate translation: “by way of”
