8:26-40 Philip obeyed the Holy Spirit’s leading and then seized the opportunity to share the message of Good News with a eunuch on the desert road . . . from Jerusalem to Gaza. This incident shows Philip’s remarkable effectiveness as a Christian apologist and evangelist in his outreach for Christ and in his commitment to bringing the Good News to all people regardless of social class or ethnicity.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει, ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη
in ¬the humiliation the justice ˱of˲_him /was/_taken_away
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of humiliation and justice, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “Because he acted humbly and did not defend himself, his enemies were able to treat him unjustly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη
the justice ˱of˲_him /was/_taken_away
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “his enemies denied him justice”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται?
the generation ˱of˲_him who /will_be/_describing
Isaiah is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “No one will describe his generation.”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται?
the generation ˱of˲_him who /will_be/_describing
Isaiah is using a future statement to describe capability. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use form that is more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Who can describe his generation?” or “No one will be able to describe his generation.”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται?
the generation ˱of˲_him who /will_be/_describing
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of generation, you could express the same idea in another way. This could mean: (1) that no one will be able to describe the Messiah’s descendants because he will die without having any children. Alternate translation: “No one will be able to describe his descendants.” (2) that no one will be able to describe the other people living at the same time as the Messiah because they will be so wicked. Alternate translation: “No one will be able to describe how wicked his contemporaries are.”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
αἴρεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ
/is_being/_taken_away from the earth the life ˱of˲_him
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “his enemies will take his life from the earth”
