OET interlinear ACTs 13:50

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οἱ & Ἰουδαῖοι

the & Jews

Luke is using the name of a whole group, the Jews, to refer to one part of that group, its leaders. Alternate translation: [the leaders of the Jews]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παρώτρυναν

incited

Luke says that the Jewish leaders stirred up these women and men, as if calm waters were being disturbed. This figurative expression means that the leaders said things to make them very upset with Paul and Barnabas. Alternate translation: [agitated]

τὰς σεβομένας γυναῖκας τὰς εὐσχήμονας

the worshipping women ¬the prominent

Alternate translation: [the influential women among the Gentile women who worshiped in the synagogue]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοὺς πρώτους

the leaders

Luke is using the adjective principal as a noun, to mean people who are important. (ULT adds the word ones to show this.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the most important men]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐξέβαλον αὐτοὺς

˱they˲_cast_out them

The pronoun they refers to the influential women and important men, not to the Jewish leaders. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the influential women and important men threw them out]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐξέβαλον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν

˱they˲_cast_out them from the regions ˱of˲_them

Luke is probably not speaking literally when he says that they threw them out. It is unlikely that they actually picked up Paul and Barnabas and heaved them through the air. Alternate translation: [they forced Paul and Barnabas to leave their boundaries]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν

the regions ˱of˲_them

Luke is describing the city of Antioch in Pisidia by association with the way that it had boundaries and its leading citizens could determine who could be within those boundaries. Alternate translation: [their city] or [the territory they controlled]
