OET (OET-LV) And having_come_out from the prison, they_came_in to the Ludia, and having_seen them, they_exhorted the brothers and they_came_out.
OET (OET-RV) So after Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to see Lydia and after encouraging the believers there, they left.
Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory
δὲ
and
Luke uses the word So to introduce information about what happened at the end of the story of the imprisonment of Paul and Silas. Your language may have its own way of presenting such information.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν Λυδίαν
¬the Lydia
Luke is referring to the house of Lydia by association with the name of the woman who lived there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they came to the house of Lydia]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go
εἰσῆλθον
˱they˲_came_in
In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: [they went]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς
the brothers
Luke is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the believers]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
καὶ ἐξῆλθαν
and and (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐξελθόντες δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς φυλακῆς εἰσῆλθον πρὸς τὴν Λυδίαν καὶ ἰδόντες παρεκάλεσαν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ ἐξῆλθον)
Luke says that they … went out, meaning Paul and Silas, to refer to those two men and to Timothy, who was still traveling with them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and then Paul and Silas and Timothy left Philippi]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ ἐξῆλθαν
and and (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐξελθόντες δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς φυλακῆς εἰσῆλθον πρὸς τὴν Λυδίαν καὶ ἰδόντες παρεκάλεσαν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ ἐξῆλθον)
Since Luke says they … went out, not “we went out,” the implication is that Luke remained in Philippi for a time, likely to strengthen and encourage the new believers there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. UST models one way to do this.
16:40 This meeting in the home of Lydia bolstered the spirits of the Philippian Christians who had to deal with the fallout from the missionaries’ work there.
OET (OET-LV) And having_come_out from the prison, they_came_in to the Ludia, and having_seen them, they_exhorted the brothers and they_came_out.
OET (OET-RV) So after Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to see Lydia and after encouraging the believers there, they left.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
