Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοὺς ἀντιδιατιθεμένους

Here Paul could be implying that these people are opposing: (1) the “slave of the Lord” (2:24). Alternate translation: “the ones opposing him” (2) the gospel. Alternate translation: “the ones opposing the gospel”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μήποτε δώῃ αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς μετάνοιαν
perhaps (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν πραΰτητι παιδεύοντα τοὺς ἀντιδιατιθεμένους μήποτε δῴη αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς μετάνοιαν εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας)
Here Paul speaks of repentance as if it were an object that God could give people. He means that God may enable these people to have repentance. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God may perhaps cause them to have repentance”
