Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
κατάλοιποι τῶν ἀνθρώπων
remnant ˱of˲_the people
Although the term men is masculine, God is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. You may wish to indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “the remnant of humanity”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
ἐκζητήσωσιν & τὸν Κύριον
/may/_seek_out & the Lord
God is speaking about himself in the third person. Alternate translation: “may seek me, the Lord”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκζητήσωσιν & τὸν Κύριον
/may/_seek_out & the Lord
God is speaking as if the Gentiles would literally seek or look for him. The expression means that the Gentiles will begin to worship God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “may begin to worship the Lord”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
ἐφ’ οὓς ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπ’ αὐτούς
on whom /has_been/_called the name ˱of˲_me on them
It might seem that this phrase contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: “upon whom my name has been called”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐφ’ οὓς ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπ’ αὐτούς
on whom /has_been/_called the name ˱of˲_me on them
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: “whom I have called by my name”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐφ’ οὓς ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπ’ αὐτούς
on whom /has_been/_called the name ˱of˲_me on them
See how you translated the similar expression in 15:14. (1) Alternate translation: “who will belong to me” (2) Alternate translation: “who will worship me”
15:4-21 The first council of the church met to resolve the dispute concerning Gentiles and circumcision (15:1-2).
OET (OET-LV) so_that wishfully the remnant of_the people may_seek_out the master, also all the pagans, on whom has_been_called the name of_me on them, is_saying the_master doing these things,
OET (OET-RV) so that the remaining people will want to find the master,
⇔ and also the non-Jews who cried out to me.
⇔ The master who is doing these things is saying this,
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.
