OET interlinear ACTs 13:38

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

γνωστὸν & ἔστω ὑμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: γνωστόν Οὖν ἔστω ὑμῖν ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ὅτι διά τούτου ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται καί ἀπό πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ἐν νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι)

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [may it be known to you] or [you should know]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί

men brothers

This is an idiomatic form of address. Use a way that is natural in your language to refer to a particular group of people. Alternate translation: [my brothers]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Paul is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. He is addressing the people in the synagogue who are his fellow-Jews and followers of Judaism. They are not Christian believers at this point. He may also be using the word brothers as a term of friendship for the Gentiles who are present. Alternate translation, as in UST: [my fellow Israelites and other friends]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

τούτου

this_‹one›

The demonstrative pronoun this one refers to Jesus. Alternate translation: [Jesus]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται, καὶ

˱to˲_you_all ˱to˲_you_all forgiveness ˱of˲_sins ˓is_being˒_proclaimed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: γνωστόν Οὖν ἔστω ὑμῖν ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ὅτι διά τούτου ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται καί ἀπό πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ἐν νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [we are proclaiming forgiveness of sins to you]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων

˱to˲_you_all ˱to˲_you_all forgiveness ˱of˲_sins ˓is_being˒_proclaimed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: γνωστόν Οὖν ἔστω ὑμῖν ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ὅτι διά τούτου ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται καί ἀπό πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ἐν νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι)

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [release of sins is proclaimed to you, and release is also proclaimed to you from the guilt of everything]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ἐν νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι

all_‹things› ˱of˲_which not ˱you_all˲_˓were˒_able in ˓the˒_law ˱of˲_Moses ˓to_be˒_justified

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [everything that you were not able to do in obedience to the law of Moses]
