Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
23:12-15 The plan to kill Paul was desperate, as a group of . . . more than forty took an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul (cp. 1 Sam 14:24-46; Matt 14:6-11; see also Deut 23:21-23; Matt 5:33-37; Jas 5:12).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
ἀναθέματι ἀνεθεματίσαμεν ἑαυτοὺς
˱with˲_/a/_curse ˱we˲_cursed ourselves
It might seem that the expression cursed ourselves with a curse contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: “cursed ourselves”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
μηδενὸς γεύσασθαι
˱of˲_nothing /to/_taste
Since the men actually swore that they would eat or drink nothing, they are using one part of their oath to represent all of it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to eat and drink nothing”
