7:60 την αμαρτιαν ταυτην ¦ ταυτην την αμαρτιαν ECM* NA SBL TH WH
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
7:59-60 Stephen’s prayer, Lord, don’t charge them with this sin, is strikingly similar to Jesus’ prayer at his crucifixion (Luke 23:34). Jesus clearly taught his followers the importance of both forgiveness (Matt 6:14-15; Mark 11:25; see Luke 11:4; 17:3-4) and prayer (Luke 11:5-10; 18:1-8; see also Acts 1:12-15; 4:23-31; 12:5; Jas 5:16-18). The Lord answered Stephen’s prayer affirmatively in the case of Saul (Acts 9:1-43).
Note 1 topic: translate-symaction
θεὶς & τὰ γόνατα
/having/_knelt & ˱on˲_his knees
Kneeling down was an act of submission to God and a reverent posture of prayer. Alternate translation: “after he had knelt down reverently”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἔκραξεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ
˱he˲_cried_out ˱with˲_/a/_voice loud
This is an idiom that means that Stephen raised the volume of his voice. Alternate translation: “he cried out loudly”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
μὴ στήσῃς αὐτοῖς ταύτην τὴν ἁμαρτίαν
not ˱you˲_/may/_set ˱to˲_them this ¬the sin
This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “please do not hold this sin against them”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
μὴ στήσῃς αὐτοῖς ταύτην τὴν ἁμαρτίαν
not ˱you˲_/may/_set ˱to˲_them this ¬the sin
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb hold … against. Alternate translation: “forgive them for this sin”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
ἐκοιμήθη
˱he˲_/was/_fallen_asleep
Luke is describing the death of Stephen when he says he fell asleep. This is a polite way of referring to something unpleasant. If this would be misunderstood in your language, use a different polite way of referring to this or use plain language. Alternate translation: “he passed away” or, as in UST, “he died”
