OET interlinear ACTs 1:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅτε εἰσῆλθον

when ˱they˲_came_in

The previous verse explains that the apostles returned to Jerusalem. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that again explicitly here. Alternate translation: “when they arrived back in Jerusalem”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον, ἀνέβησαν οὗ ἦσαν καταμένοντες

into the upper_room ˱they˲_went_up where ˱they˲_were staying

In this culture, in some houses, rooms were built on top of other rooms. The expression upper chamber describes such a room, which was reached by stairs. If your culture does not have houses like that, it may be helpful to explain the meaning of the expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “they climbed the stairs to the room where they were staying, which had been built on top of other rooms in the house”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Ἰάκωβος Ἁλφαίου & Ἰούδας Ἰακώβου

Jacobus Jacobus ˱of˲_Alpheus & Judas ˱of˲_Jacobus

These are two occurrences of an idiom. Alternate translation: “James the son of Alphaeus … Judas the son of James”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

Ἰάκωβος Ἁλφαίου & Ἰούδας & Ἰακώβου

Jacobus Jacobus ˱of˲_Alpheus & Judas & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον ἀνέβησαν οὗ ἦσαν καταμένοντες ὅ τε Πέτρος καὶ Ἰωάννης καὶ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἀνδρέας Φίλιππος καὶ Θωμᾶς Βαρθολομαῖος καὶ Ματθαῖος Ἰάκωβος Ἁλφαίου καὶ Σίμων ὁ Ζηλωτὴς καὶ Ἰούδας Ἰακώβου)

These are the names of four men. As the UST indicates, the man named James who was the father of Judas is not the same man as the James who is mentioned first in this verse, and he is also not the same man as James the son of Alphaeus.

Note 5 topic: translate-names

Σίμων ὁ Ζηλωτὴς

Simon the Zealot

Simon is the name of a man, and Zealot is another name by which he was known. (1) Zealot could be a title that indicates that this man was part of the group of people who wanted to free the Jewish people from Roman rule. Alternate translation: “Simon the Patriot” (2) Zealot could also be a description that indicates that this man was zealous for God to be honored. Alternate translation: “Simon the Passionate One”
