OET interlinear ACTs 25:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

οὖν

therefore

Luke is using the word translated Now to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐπιβὰς

/having/_set_foot_in

Luke is using one part of Festus, his foot, to represent all of himself in the act of arriving in Judea. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “having arrived”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῇ ἐπαρχείᾳ

˱in˲_the province

By the province, Luke implicitly means the province of Judea. You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “in Judea”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνέβη εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἀπὸ Καισαρείας

went_up to Jerusalem from Caesarea

Luke says that Festus went up because that was the customary way of speaking about traveling to Jerusalem, since that city is up on a mountain. Use a natural way in your language of referring to traveling to a higher elevation.
