OET (OET-RV) Well, look here! The master will extend his power against you and blind you—you’ll go a season without seeing the sun!”
¶ And immediately he could only see fog and darkness, and needed someone to guide him around by the hand.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ
behold
Paul is using the term behold to focus Elymas’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐπὶ σέ
/the/_hand ˱of˲_/the/_Lord on you
Here the word hand represents the power of God, and the phrase upon you indicates punishment. Alternate translation: “the Lord is going to punish you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
τυφλὸς, μὴ βλέπων τὸν ἥλιον
blind not seeing the sun
Paul is using a word and a phrase together to express a single idea. The phrase not seeing the sun tells to what degree Elymas will be blind. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “so blind that you will not be able to tell whether it is day or night”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἔπεσεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἀχλὺς καὶ σκότος
fell on him /a/_mist and darkness
Paul is speaking of this mist and darkness as if they were going to fall on Elymas. Alternate translation: “what Elymas could see became blurry and then dark” or see the next note for another possibility.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
ἔπεσεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἀχλὺς καὶ σκότος
fell on him /a/_mist and darkness
Luke may be using the two words mist and darkness together to express a single idea. The word mist may tell what kind of darkness was all that Elymas could see. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use and. Alternate translation: “a misty darkness was all that Elymas could see”
13:6-12 At Paphos there was a power struggle with a false prophet, with the result that the power of God was manifested and the Roman governor became a believer.
OET (OET-LV) And now see, the_hand of_the_master on you, and you_will_be blind, not seeing the sun until a_season.
and immediately a_mist and darkness fell on him, and going_around he_was_seeking one_leading_by_hand.
OET (OET-RV) Well, look here! The master will extend his power against you and blind you—you’ll go a season without seeing the sun!”
¶ And immediately he could only see fog and darkness, and needed someone to guide him around by the hand.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
