OET interlinear ACTs 21:16

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

τινι Κυπρίῳ ἀρχαίῳ μαθητῇ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: συνῆλθον Δέ καί τῶν μαθητῶν ἀπό Καισαρείας σύν ἡμῖν ἄγοντες πάρʼ ᾧ ξενισθῶμεν Μνάσωνι τινί Κυπρίῳ ἀρχαίῳ μαθητῇ)

Luke is using the phrase a certain early disciple to introduce Mnason as a new participant in the story. The phrase early disciple introduces him as one of the first people to believe in Jesus. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [a Cypriot who was one of the first believers]

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: συνῆλθον Δέ καί τῶν μαθητῶν ἀπό Καισαρείας σύν ἡμῖν ἄγοντες πάρʼ ᾧ ξενισθῶμεν Μνάσωνι τινί Κυπρίῳ ἀρχαίῳ μαθητῇ)

The word Mnason is the name of a man. The word Cypriot is the name for someone who lives on or comes from the island of Cyprus. See how you translated it in 11:20.

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [who would be hosting us]
