UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφοί

brothers

See how you translated the same use of brothers in 1:2. Alternate translation: [brothers and sisters]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἐγὼ & εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω, τί ἔτι διώκομαι

I & if circumcision still ˱I˲_/am/_proclaiming why still ˱I˲_/am_being/_persecuted

Paul is using a hypothetical situation to help emphasize that he does not proclaim circumcision. Use the natural form in your language for expressing a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: [suppose I still do proclaim circumcision. Then why am I still being persecuted]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

περιτομὴν & κηρύσσω

circumcision & ˱I˲_/am/_proclaiming

Here, proclaim circumcision refers to telling people that they must be circumcised in order to be saved. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [proclaim the need to be circumcised] or [proclaim that everyone must be circumcised]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

περιτομὴν

circumcision

See how you translated circumcision in 5:6.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί ἔτι διώκομαι

why still ˱I˲_/am_being/_persecuted

Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [I should not still be persecuted!]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τί ἔτι διώκομαι & κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ

why still ˱I˲_/am_being/_persecuted & /has_been/_nullified the offense ˱of˲_the cross

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. Alternate translation: [why are people still persecuting me … I would have removed the stumbling block of the cross]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ

consequently /has_been/_nullified the offense ˱of˲_the cross

This sentence gives both the result of proclaiming circumcision and the reason why someone who proclaimed circumcision would not be persecuted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [I would not be persecuted because proclaiming circumcision would remove the stumbling block of the cross]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ

the offense ˱of˲_the cross

Paul is using the possessive form to describe the stumbling block that is the cross. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [the stumbling block, that is, the cross]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ σκάνδαλον

the offense

Here, stumbling block refers to something that offends people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the offense]

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τοῦ σταυροῦ

˱of˲_the cross

Here, the cross refers to Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross, which was a very offensive way to die. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [of what Jesus did when he died on the cross]
