The word gentile is difficult to explain much less "translate."
It was used in different forms from the earliest writings of the Old Testament
and generally meant "nations.'
Translations from the Greek word "ethos" may render it as "clan" or even "family" and during the Roman period it may have referred to pagans of the era.
In the context of early Christianity it probably referred to a non-Israelite. Today the word is used in connection with non-Jews.
There are some Christians sects and some uneducated Christians that believe the word means non-Christian, but the word itself is older than Christianity.
