OET interlinear ACTs 10:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

μηδαμῶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος εἶπεν Μηδαμῶς Κύριε ὅτι οὐδέποτε ἔφαγον παν κοινόν καί ἀκάθαρτον)

Not at all is an exclamation that communicates a strong refusal to do or even to consider something. Use an exclamation that is natural in your language for communicating this. Alternate translation: [No, never]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐδέποτε ἔφαγον πᾶν κοινὸν καὶ ἀκάθαρτον

never ˱I˲_ate (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος εἶπεν Μηδαμῶς Κύριε ὅτι οὐδέποτε ἔφαγον παν κοινόν καί ἀκάθαρτον)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of word never and the negative terms common and unclean. Alternate translation: [I have only ever eaten things that are holy and clean]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

κοινὸν καὶ ἀκάθαρτον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος εἶπεν Μηδαμῶς Κύριε ὅτι οὐδέποτε ἔφαγον παν κοινόν καί ἀκάθαρτον)

The words common and unclean mean similar things. Peter may be using them together for emphasis. Alternate translation: [that our Jewish laws forbid us to eat]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐδέποτε ἔφαγον πᾶν κοινὸν καὶ ἀκάθαρτον

never ˱I˲_ate (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος εἶπεν Μηδαμῶς Κύριε ὅτι οὐδέποτε ἔφαγον παν κοινόν καί ἀκάθαρτον)

The implication is that some the animals in the container were forbidden for Jews to eat. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [common and unclean, like some of those animals]
