OET interlinear ACTs 1:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τοῦ βαπτίσματος Ἰωάννου

˓having˒_begun (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀρξάμενος ἀπό τοῦ βαπτίσματος Ἰωάννου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνελήμφθη ἀφʼ ἡμῶν μάρτυρα τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ σύν ἡμῖν γενέσθαι ἕνα τούτων)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word baptism, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “baptize.” Alternate translation: [beginning from when John started baptizing people]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς

the day ˱in˲_which

While Jesus was taken up to heaven on a specific day, Peter may be using the word day to mean a specific time. Alternate translation: [the time when]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ἀνελήμφθη & τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ

˱he˲_˓was˒_taken_up & ˱of˲_the resurrection ˱of˲_him

The pronoun he refers to Jesus, not to John the Baptist. The pronoun his also refers to Jesus. For clarity, you may want to use the name Jesus instead of one or both of these pronouns. Alternate translation: [Jesus was taken up … the resurrection of Jesus]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀνελήμφθη ἀφ’ ἡμῶν

˱he˲_˓was˒_taken_up from us

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [God took him up from us]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἀφ’ ἡμῶν & σὺν ἡμῖν

from us & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀρξάμενος ἀπό τοῦ βαπτίσματος Ἰωάννου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνελήμφθη ἀφʼ ἡμῶν μάρτυρα τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ σύν ἡμῖν γενέσθαι ἕνα τούτων)

When Peter says from us, he is referring to God taking Jesus from everyone to whom he is speaking. But when Peter says with us, he means only himself and the other apostles. So the word “us” would be inclusive in the first instance and exclusive in the second instance, if your language marks that distinction.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἕνα τούτων

one ˱of˲_these

Peter is using the demonstrative adjective these as a noun to refer to specific people, the men whose qualifications he has just described. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could add the term “men” to clarify the meaning. Alternate translation: [one of these men is]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ

the ˱of˲_the resurrection ˱of˲_him

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word resurrection, you could express the same idea with an adjective such as “alive.” Alternate translation: [that God made him alive again after he died]
