OET interlinear ACTs 17:34

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory

δὲ

but

Luke uses the word But to introduce information about what happened at the end of the story of what Paul did in Athens. Your language may have its own way of presenting such information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τινὲς & ἄνδρες

some & men

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women, as the mention of Damaris shows. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a term in your language that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [certain people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / events

κολληθέντες αὐτῷ, ἐπίστευσαν

˓having_been˒_joined_together ˱to˲_him believed

The people Luke describes here believed before they were joined to Paul, so it might be more natural to put the information about them believing first. Alternate translation: [believed and were joined to him]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κολληθέντες αὐτῷ

˓having_been˒_joined_together ˱to˲_him

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: [joining him]
