OET interlinear ACTs 12:23

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἀνθ’ ὧν οὐκ ἔδωκεν τὴν δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ

for that not ˱he˲_gave the glory ¬the ˱to˲_God

If it would be clearer in your language, you could put this reason before the result it led to (the angel striking Herod), as UST does.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γενόμενος σκωληκόβρωτος, ἐξέψυξεν

/having/_become worm-infested ˱he˲_stopped_breathing

The word translated worm-eaten is an adjective, so this is not a passive verbal form. However, if your language does not use passive forms, it might be clearer for your readers if you use an expression that does not seem to be a passive verbal form. The word worm-eaten expresses the result of action by a different agent, so you can use an active form with that agent as the subject. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. UST models one way to do this.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γενόμενος σκωληκόβρωτος, ἐξέψυξεν

/having/_become worm-infested ˱he˲_stopped_breathing

It is not clear exactly what this means, and you might choose to say nothing further in your translation. However, this could mean: (1) that when the angel struck Herod, this caused a deep wound, and by the time Herod died of this wound, it was already infested with maggots. Alternate translation: “he died after his wound became so infected that it was infested with maggots” (2) that the word struck is figurative and it refers to an illness, a severe case of intestinal worms. Alternate translation: “he got such a severe case of intestinal worms that he died”
