OET interlinear ACTs 1:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

λήμψεσθε δύναμιν, ἐπελθόντος τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἔσεσθέ μου μάρτυρες

˱you_all˲_˓will_be˒_receiving power ˓having˒_come_over the Holy Spirit on you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀλλά λήμψεσθε δύναμιν ἐπελθόντος τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς καί ἔσεσθε μού μάρτυρες ἐν τέ Ἰερουσαλήμ καί ἐν πάσῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ καί Σαμαρείᾳ καί ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς)

Jesus is using the word translated as and to describe a result. Alternate translation: [when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, then you will receive power to be my witnesses]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δύναμιν

power

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word power, you could express the same idea with an adjective such as “powerful.” Alternate translation: [powerful ability]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς

to ˓the˒_last_‹part› ˱of˲_the earth

This is a reference to place, not to time. Jesus does not mean “until the world ends.” Alternate translation: [all over the world] or [to the places on the earth that are farthest away from here]
