10:44-48 On the day of Pentecost, Peter told the assembly that if they would repent, turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, they would receive “the gift of the Holy Spirit” (2:38; cp. 19:1-7). As Cornelius and his household listened to Peter’s message, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, too, and they were baptized. They received the Holy Spirit just as the Jews did, so clearly God had shown no partiality (10:34-35). This event parallels the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem (2:1-47) and marks the spread of the Holy Spirit’s power to Gentiles (1:8; 2:39).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
μήτι τὸ ὕδωρ δύναται κωλῦσαί τις τοῦ μὴ βαπτισθῆναι τούτους, οἵτινες τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον ἔλαβον, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς
surely_not the water /is/_able /to/_forbid anyone ¬which not /to_be/_baptized these who the Spirit ¬the Holy received as also we_‹did›
The first word of this sentence in Greek is a negative word that can be used to turn a negative statement into a question that expects a negative answer. ULT shows this by adding is he. Your language may have other ways of asking a question that expects a negative answer, for example, by changing the word order of a positive statement. Translate this in the way that would be clearest in your language. Alternate translation: “Is anyone able to withhold water so that these are not baptized who have received the Holy Spirit as we also did”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
μήτι τὸ ὕδωρ δύναται κωλῦσαί τις τοῦ μὴ βαπτισθῆναι τούτους, οἵτινες τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον ἔλαβον, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς?
surely_not the water /is/_able /to/_forbid anyone ¬which not /to_be/_baptized these who the Spirit ¬the Holy received as also we_‹did›
Peter is using the question form to convince the Jewish Christians that the Gentile believers should be baptized. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “No one should withhold water so that these are not baptized who have received the Holy Spirit as we also did!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
μήτι τὸ ὕδωρ δύναται κωλῦσαί τις τοῦ μὴ βαπτισθῆναι τούτους, οἵτινες τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον ἔλαβον, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς?
surely_not the water /is/_able /to/_forbid anyone ¬which not /to_be/_baptized these who the Spirit ¬the Holy received as also we_‹did›
Even if the negative question is turned into a positive statement, a double negative still remains, the negative verb withhold and the negative particle not. This double negative can also be stated in positive form. Alternate translation: “We should make water available so that these can be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit as we also did!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
τὸ ὕδωρ
the water
Peter is using water, one thing necessary for baptism, to signify all the means and permission necessary for baptism. Alternate translation: “the means and permission”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τοῦ μὴ βαπτισθῆναι τούτους
¬which not /to_be/_baptized these
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “so that these do not receive baptism”
