4.22 Scriptum est, etc. Complures habuit, sed de duobus tantum Scriptura specialiter singula exsequitur, innuens aliquid egregium in his præfigurari. Unum de ancilla et unum, etc. Nec hoc frustra distinxit: uterque quidem natus est de Abraham, sed de diversa operatione. Quia qui de ancilla secundum carnis naturam, qua juvencula de sene solet concipere. Qui de libera, non secundum vim carnis, ut vetula sterilis de vetulo, sed per operationem Dei, qui promisit. Illum ergo genuit, demonstrans consuetudo naturam. Illum vero dedit promissio, significans gratiam. Ibi humanus usus ostenditur, hic divinum beneficium commendatur.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

Here, Paul uses it is written to mean that it is written in the Old Testament Scriptures. Paul assumes that his readers will understand this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is referring to an important text. Alternate translation: “it has been written in the Scriptures”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

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, Moses did it. Alternate translation: “Moses wrote” or “Moses wrote in the Scriptures”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

Ἀβραὰμ δύο υἱοὺς ἔσχεν; ἕνα ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης, καὶ ἕνα ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας

Abraham two sons had one of the servant_girl and one of the free_‹woman›

In this verse and in all of 4:23 Paul is summarizing a story from the book of Genesis and is not directly quoting scripture, so you should not use quotation marks or anything else that might cause your readers to think that Paul is directly quoting scripture here.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἕνα ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης, καὶ ἕνα ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας

one of the servant_girl and one of the free_‹woman›

In both instances in the phrases one by the slave girl and one by the free woman, Paul is using the adjective “one” as a noun in order to indicate a specific kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could add the word “son” to show Paul's meaning. Alternate translation: “one son by the slave girl and one son by the free woman”
