OET interlinear ACTs 1:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἳ & εἶπαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἵ καί εἶπαν Ἄνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τόν οὐρανόν Οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθείς ἀφʼ ὑμῶν εἰς τόν οὐρανόν οὕτως ἐλεύσεται ὅν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτόν πορευόμενον εἰς τόν οὐρανόν)

This could mean: (1) one of the angels had spoken on behalf of both of them. Alternate translation: [one of them said] (2) the two angels had each said different parts of the quotation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / verbs

οἳ & εἶπαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἵ καί εἶπαν Ἄνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τόν οὐρανόν Οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθείς ἀφʼ ὑμῶν εἰς τόν οὐρανόν οὕτως ἐλεύσεται ὅν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτόν πορευόμενον εἰς τόν οὐρανόν)

If you retain the word they in your translation and if your language uses dual forms for verbs, it would be accurate to use the dual form here, since two men are speaking.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες, Γαλιλαῖοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἵ καί εἶπαν Ἄνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τόν οὐρανόν Οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθείς ἀφʼ ὑμῶν εἰς τόν οὐρανόν οὕτως ἐλεύσεται ὅν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτόν πορευόμενον εἰς τόν οὐρανόν)

This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: [You Galileans]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν?

why ˱you_all˲_˓have˒_stood looking at (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἵ καί εἶπαν Ἄνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τόν οὐρανόν Οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθείς ἀφʼ ὑμῶν εἰς τόν οὐρανόν οὕτως ἐλεύσεται ὅν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτόν πορευόμενον εἰς τόν οὐρανόν)

The angels are not looking for information. They are using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate their words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [there is no reason for you to stand looking into heaven!]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες

why ˱you_all˲_˓have˒_stood looking

The expression stand means to continue doing something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [why do you keep looking] or [there is no reason for you to keep looking]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ἀναλημφθεὶς ἀφ’ ὑμῶν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν & ἐθεάσασθε αὐτὸν πορευόμενον εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν

¬the ¬which (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἵ καί εἶπαν Ἄνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τόν οὐρανόν Οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθείς ἀφʼ ὑμῶν εἰς τόν οὐρανόν οὕτως ἐλεύσεται ὅν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτόν πορευόμενον εἰς τόν οὐρανόν)

In its second occurrence in this sentence, the term translated heaven likely means “the sky,” as in the previous sentence and in the previous verse. However, in its first occurrence in this sentence, the term likely means “heaven” itself. It would not be accurate to say that Jesus was just “taken up from you into the sky.” Alternate translation: [who has been taken up from you into heaven … you saw him going into the sky]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ ἀναλημφθεὶς

¬the ¬which (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἵ καί εἶπαν Ἄνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τόν οὐρανόν Οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθείς ἀφʼ ὑμῶν εἰς τόν οὐρανόν οὕτως ἐλεύσεται ὅν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτόν πορευόμενον εἰς τόν οὐρανόν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form, and you could state who has done the action. Alternate translation: [whom God has taken up]

ὃν τρόπον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἵ καί εἶπαν Ἄνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τόν οὐρανόν Οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθείς ἀφʼ ὑμῶν εἰς τόν οὐρανόν οὕτως ἐλεύσεται ὅν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτόν πορευόμενον εἰς τόν οὐρανόν)

Alternate translation: [in the same way in which]
