OET interlinear ACTs 21:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

καταλιπόντες αὐτὴν εὐώνυμον

˓having˒_left (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναφάναντες Δέ τήν Κύπρον καί καταλιπόντες αὐτήν εὐώνυμον ἐπλέομεν εἰς Συρίαν καί κατήλθομεν εἰς Τύρον ἐκεῖσε γάρ τό πλοῖον ἦν ἀποφορτιζόμενον τόν γόμον)

The expression leaving it behind on the port side means on the left side of the ship. Since the ship was sailing east, this means that it sailed to the south of the island of Cyprus. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express that meaning plainly. However, if the people of your culture are familiar with sea travel, you could use the corresponding expression that is most natural in your language. Alternate translation: [having sailed to the south of it]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κατήλθομεν εἰς Τύρον

˱we˲_came_down at Tyre

Luke says that he and his companions came down to Tyre because that was the customary way in this culture of describing a person arriving somewhere after traveling by sea. Your language may have its own way of describing that. Alternate translation: [landed at Tyre]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

Luke is using the last part of a process to represent the entire process. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the ship was going there to unload its cargo]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

τὸ πλοῖον ἦν ἀποφορτιζόμενον τὸν γόμον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναφάναντες Δέ τήν Κύπρον καί καταλιπόντες αὐτήν εὐώνυμον ἐπλέομεν εἰς Συρίαν καί κατήλθομεν εἰς Τύρον ἐκεῖσε γάρ τό πλοῖον ἦν ἀποφορτιζόμενον τόν γόμον)

Luke is speaking of this ship as if it were a living thing that was unloading its own cargo. Luke means that the crew of this ship was doing the unloading. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the ship’s crew was to unload its cargo]
