OET interlinear ACTs 1:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτι κατηριθμημένος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν καί ἔλαχεν τόν κλῆρον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης)

Peter uses the word For to introduce the reason for a result that is described in [1:21–22](../01/21.md), after Luke provides further background information and Peter quotes the scripture he referred to in [1:16](../01/16.md). The overall meaning is, “Since Judas was one of us apostles, we need to replace him with another witness of the ministry of Jesus.” But since so much material comes between the reason and the result, it may be helpful to give an indication here that Peter has a response in mind. Alternate translation: [There is something important we need to do in response to this scripture being fulfilled, since]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

These two phrases mean similar things. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [Jesus chose him to be an apostle along with us]

κατηριθμημένος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν

˓having_been˒_numbered ˱he˲_was with us

Peter is using the term numbered in one of its specific senses. Alternate translation: [he was considered to be one of us apostles]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κατηριθμημένος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν

˓having_been˒_numbered ˱he˲_was with us

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [he belonged to our group of apostles]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἐν ἡμῖν

with us

Although Peter is addressing a larger group of people, he is using the word us to refer only to himself and the other apostles. So if your language distinguishes between exclusive and inclusive “us,” it would be accurate to use the exclusive form here. Other languages may have other ways of indicating that us is exclusive here. Alternate translation: [with us apostles]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

τὸν κλῆρον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτι κατηριθμημένος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν καί ἔλαχεν τόν κλῆρον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης)

Luke temporarily ends his quotation from Peter after this phrase so that he can provide further background information about Judas in [1:18–19](../01/18.md). The quotation resumes in [1:20](../01/20.md). If you are identifying quotations in your translation by putting them within quotation marks or by using some other punctuation or convention that your language uses, there should be an ending quotation mark or the equivalent after this phrase.
