Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Ἰωάννης
John
Jesus is referring to the man who was known as John the Baptist because he baptized people. It may help to identify him if you use that title after his name in your translation. However, because the word “Baptist” is associated with a group of churches in many parts of the world, it may be helpful to your readers to use a different form of the word as a title, as UST does by saying “Baptizer.” Alternate translation: [John the Baptist] or [John the Baptizer]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὑμεῖς & ἐν Πνεύματι βαπτισθήσεσθε Ἁγίῳ
you_all & in /the/_Spirit /will_be_being/_baptized Holy
After describing earlier in the verse how John baptized people literally, Jesus is using baptism in this second instance as a metaphor. See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter. Alternate translation: [the Holy Spirit will come and empower you]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὑμεῖς & βαπτισθήσεσθε
you_all & /will_be_being/_baptized
You may wish to retain the metaphor of baptism in your translation. If you do, and If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form, and you can say who will do the action. Alternate translation: [God will baptize]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
οὐ μετὰ πολλὰς ταύτας ἡμέρας
not after many these days
Jesus is using a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. Alternate translation: [just a few days from now]
OET (OET-LV) Because Yōannaʸs on_one_hand immersed in_water, on_the_other_hand you_all will_be_being_immersed in the_ holy _spirit, after many not these days.
OET (OET-RV) Yohan immersed people in water, but you all will be immersed in the holy spirit in just a few days.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
