OET (OET-RV) but he never left himself without evidence of himself—sending good rains from heaven to give you all fruitful seasons with food to fill your stomachs and happiness to fill your hearts.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐκ ἀμάρτυρον αὑτὸν ἀφῆκεν
not without_witness himself left
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative preposition without. Alternate translation: “he left himself a witness” or “he showed you what he was like”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
οὐρανόθεν ὑμῖν ὑετοὺς διδοὺς
from_heaven ˱to˲_you_all rains giving
It might seem that the expression rains from the sky contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: “providing rain”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐμπιπλῶν & τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν
filling & the hearts ˱of˲_you_all
Paul and Barnabas are using one part of these people, their hearts, meaning their desires, to mean their entire beings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: “satisfying you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
τροφῆς καὶ εὐφροσύνης
˱with˲_food and gladness
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word gladness tells how the food that God provided made these people feel. 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: “enjoyable food”
14:8-20 Paul’s healing of a man with crippled feet recalls a similar incident in 3:1-12. In Acts, the work of Paul parallels the work of Peter, and the many miraculous signs and wonders performed among the Jews were also performed among the Gentiles.
OET (OET-LV) And_yet left himself not without_witness, working_good from_heaven to_you_all giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling with_food and the hearts of_you_all gladness.
OET (OET-RV) but he never left himself without evidence of himself—sending good rains from heaven to give you all fruitful seasons with food to fill your stomachs and happiness to fill your hearts.”
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.
