uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ζητεῖν τὸν Θεὸν

˓to_be˒_seeking (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ζητεῖν τόν Θεόν εἰ ἄρα γέ ψηλαφήσειαν αὐτόν καί εὕροιεν καί γέ οὒ μακράν ἀπό ἑνός ἑκάστου ἡμῶν ὑπάρχοντα)

Paul means implicitly that God did the things he described in the previous verse, giving the nations of humanity particular times to live in particular places, so that they would seek him. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [God did this so that people would seek him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ψηλαφήσειαν αὐτὸν καὶ εὕροιεν

˱they˲_˓might˒_grope (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ζητεῖν τόν Θεόν εἰ ἄρα γέ ψηλαφήσειαν αὐτόν καί εὕροιεν καί γέ οὒ μακράν ἀπό ἑνός ἑκάστου ἡμῶν ὑπάρχοντα)

Paul is speaking as if people could feel around for God and find him that way. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they might sincerely try to know God and come to know him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐ μακρὰν ἀπὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ζητεῖν τόν Θεόν εἰ ἄρα γέ ψηλαφήσειαν αὐτόν καί εὕροιεν καί γέ οὒ μακράν ἀπό ἑνός ἑκάστου ἡμῶν ὑπάρχοντα)

Paul is using a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [close to]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us

Paul is using the pronoun us to refer to himself and his listeners, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.

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.
