2:5-11 Because Pentecost was a pilgrimage festival (see study note on 2:1-4), Jews from every nation were present in Jerusalem at that time and were thus able to hear the Good News being proclaimed in their own languages. The Good News is for all people (2:38-39).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
καὶ πῶς ἡμεῖς ἀκούομεν ἕκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ ἡμῶν, ἐν ᾗ ἐγεννήθημεν?
and how we /are/_hearing each ˱in˲_the own language ˱of˲_us in which ˱we˲_/were/_born
The speakers do not expect someone to be able to answer this question for them. Rather, they are using the question form to express their amazement. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate their words as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “So we should not each be hearing them speak in our own languages in which we were born!”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ
and
The speakers are using the word translated And to introduce the results of what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “So”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πῶς ἡμεῖς ἀκούομεν ἕκαστος
how we /are/_hearing each
Your language may require you to specify the object of hearing. Alternate translation: “how are we each hearing them speak”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμεῖς & ἡμῶν
we & ˱of˲_us
The speakers are using the words we and our to refer to themselves and to their listeners, so use the inclusive forms of those words if your language marks that distinction.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν ᾗ ἐγεννήθημεν
in which ˱we˲_/were/_born
The speakers say that they were born in these languages to mean that they learned them from birth. Alternate translation: “that we learned from birth”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐν ᾗ ἐγεννήθημεν
in which ˱we˲_/were/_born
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. However, since this is a metaphor, it would be preferable to use another expression to explain its meaning, rather than to say something like “in which our mothers gave birth to us.” Alternate translation: “that we learned from birth”
