OET (OET-LV) And god the heart_knower testified to_them, having_given them the the holy spirit as also to_us,
OET (OET-RV) And God who knows even people’s inner thoughts, gave them the same holy spirit that he gave us,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
καρδιογνώστης
heart_knower
Here, the word heart refers to a person’s character and intentions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who understands each person’s character and intentions”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐμαρτύρησεν αὐτοῖς
testified ˱to˲_them
The implication is not that God testified to the Gentiles about Jesus, but that by giving the Gentiles the Holy Spirit, God testified to Peter and his companions that they could have genuine faith. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand the sentence. Alternate translation: “testified to their genuine faith”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καθὼς καὶ ἡμῖν
as also ˱to˲_us
Peter 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 earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “just as he also gave the Holy Spirit to us”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῖν
˱to˲_us
Peter is using the word us to refer to himself and his listeners, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
15:4-21 The first council of the church met to resolve the dispute concerning Gentiles and circumcision (15:1-2).
OET (OET-LV) And god the heart_knower testified to_them, having_given them the the holy spirit as also to_us,
OET (OET-RV) And God who knows even people’s inner thoughts, gave them the same holy spirit that he gave us,
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.
