OET interlinear ACTs 20:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε ἀπὸ πρώτης ἡμέρας ἀφ’ ἧς ἐπέβην εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν, πῶς μεθ’ ὑμῶν τὸν πάντα χρόνον ἐγενόμην

you_all /are/_knowing from /the/_first day from which ˱I˲_set_foot_in in ¬the Asia how with you_all the whole time ˱I˲_became

It may be more natural in your language to reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “You yourselves know how I was with you the whole time from the first day from which I set foot in Asia”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε

you_all /are/_knowing

Paul is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb know, for emphasis. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: “You certainly know”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐπέβην εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν

˱I˲_set_foot_in in ¬the Asia

Paul is using one part of himself, his foot, to represent all of himself in the act of arriving in Asia. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I entered Asia”
