OET interlinear ACTs 20:35

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

πάντα ὑπέδειξα ὑμῖν, ὅτι & δεῖ

all_‹things› ˱I˲_showed ˱to˲_you_all that & ˱it˲_/is/_fitting

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “I showed you all things in order to demonstrate that it is necessary”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντα & ὅτι & δεῖ

all_‹things› & that & ˱it˲_/is/_fitting

Paul says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “consistently, that it is necessary”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πάντα

all_‹things›

Paul is using the adjective all as a noun. ULT adds the word things to show that. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “all kinds of things”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι τῶν ἀσθενούντων

/to_be/_taking_care ˱of˲_the_‹ones› faltering

Paul is referring to helping people by association with the way that someone might take hold of a person who was weak to keep him from falling. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to help those who are weak”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

τῶν λόγων τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπεν

˱of˲_the_‹ones› ˱about˲_the words ˱of˲_the Lord Jesus that he said

Paul is adding the word himself for emphasis. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “the words that none other than our Lord Jesus spoke”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῶν λόγων τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ

˱of˲_the_‹ones› ˱about˲_the words ˱of˲_the Lord Jesus

Paul is using the term words to mean a statement that Jesus made by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the statement of the Lord Jesus”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν, μακάριόν ἐστιν μᾶλλον, διδόναι ἢ λαμβάνειν

said blessed ˱it˲_is more /to_be/_giving than /to_be/_receiving

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “said that it is more blessed to give than to receive”
