OET (OET-LV) And when she_was_immersed and the house of_her, she_implored saying:
If you_all_have_judged me to_be faithful to_the master, having_come_in into the house of_me, be_remaining.
And she_urged us.
OET (OET-RV) So then Lydia and her household were all ceremonially immersed, and then she requested, “If you all consider me to be faithful to the master, come and stay at my place.” So she persuaded us.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὡς & ἐβαπτίσθη
when & ˱she˲_/was/_baptized
The implication is that Lydia believed in Jesus and then was baptized. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “when she believed in Jesus and was baptized”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὡς δὲ ἐβαπτίσθη
when and ˱she˲_/was/_baptized
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. If you need to say who did the action, it is likely from the context that it was Paul. Alternate translation: “when Paul baptized her”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς
and the house ˱of˲_her
Luke 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: “and her household was also baptized”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς
the house ˱of˲_her
Here, her household refers to all the people who lived in Lydia’s house. Alternate translation: “the members of her household” or “her family and household servants”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
κεκρίκατέ
˱you_all˲_/have/_judged
The word you is plural here. Lydia is addressing Paul and his companions. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 6 topic: writing-politeness
τῷ Κυρίῳ
˱to˲_the Lord
Lydia is referring to Jesus by a respectful title. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: “to the Lord Jesus”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου, μένετε
/having/_come_in into the house ˱of˲_me /be/_remaining
This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “please come to my house and stay with me as my guests”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμᾶς
us
Luke is using the pronoun us to refer to himself and his traveling companions, but not to his readers, so use the exclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
16:13-36 Luke gives his readers cameos of three lives touched by the Good News in Philippi: a wealthy woman (16:14-15), an exploited slave girl (16:16-21), and a middle-class officer (16:23-36).
OET (OET-LV) And when she_was_immersed and the house of_her, she_implored saying:
If you_all_have_judged me to_be faithful to_the master, having_come_in into the house of_me, be_remaining.
And she_urged us.
OET (OET-RV) So then Lydia and her household were all ceremonially immersed, and then she requested, “If you all consider me to be faithful to the master, come and stay at my place.” So she persuaded 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.
