OET interlinear ACTs 1:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

μὲν οὖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος μέν Οὖν ἐκτήσατο χωρίον ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας καί πρηνής γενόμενος ἐλάκησεν μέσος καί ἐξεχύθη παντᾶ τά σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ)

Luke is using this expression to introduce further background information that he provides in this verse and the next one about how Judas died and about what people called the field where he died. This is not part of Peter’s speech. You may want to indicate that by putting these verses in parentheses or by using the equivalent convention in your language.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οὗτος

this_‹man›

Luke is using the demonstrative adjective this as a noun to refer to a specific person, Judas. (ULT shows that by adding one.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could state “he” or use the name “Judas.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας

out_of ˓the˒_reward ¬the ˱of˲_unrighteousness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word unrighteousness, you could express the same idea with an adjective such as “unrighteous.” Alternate translation: [with the money that he received for doing an unrighteous deed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας

out_of ˓the˒_reward ¬the ˱of˲_unrighteousness

Luke is using the term unrighteousness to describe Judas betraying Jesus, by association with the way that was an unrighteous thing to do. Alternate translation: [with the money that he received for betraying Jesus]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πρηνὴς γενόμενος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος μέν Οὖν ἐκτήσατο χωρίον ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας καί πρηνής γενόμενος ἐλάκησεν μέσος καί ἐξεχύθη παντᾶ τά σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ)

Luke does not say how Judas became prostrate, that is, how his body landed face-down on the field. It is clear, however, that Judas did not just trip and fall accidentally. Rather, it seems that his body forcefully hit the field as he was killing himself. Alternate translation: [in his attempt to kill himself his body struck that field]

πρηνὴς γενόμενος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος μέν Οὖν ἐκτήσατο χωρίον ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας καί πρηνής γενόμενος ἐλάκησεν μέσος καί ἐξεχύθη παντᾶ τά σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ)

The word headfirst describes someone falling forward, as opposed to falling backwards. Alternate translation: [having fallen forward]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐξεχύθη πάντα τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ

˓was˒_poured_out (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος μέν Οὖν ἐκτήσατο χωρίον ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας καί πρηνής γενόμενος ἐλάκησεν μέσος καί ἐξεχύθη παντᾶ τά σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [all his inward parts poured out]
