OET interlinear ACTs 22:25

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

προέτειναν

˱they˲_stretched_out

The pronoun they refers to the soldiers who were going to whip Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the soldiers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ἑστῶτα ἑκατόνταρχον ὁ Παῦλος, εἰ ἄνθρωπον Ῥωμαῖον καὶ ἀκατάκριτον, ἔξεστιν ὑμῖν μαστίζειν

said (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡς Δέ προέτειναν αὐτόν τοῖς ἱμᾶσιν εἶπεν πρός τόν ἑστῶτα ἑκατόνταρχον ὁ Παῦλος εἰ ἄνθρωπον Ῥωμαῖον καί ἀκατάκριτον ἔξεστιν ὑμῖν μαστίζειν)

Luke is recording how Paul used the typical form in his language for asking questions. It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [Paul asked the centurion who was standing by whether it was lawful for him and his soldiers to scourge a man who was a Roman and had not been condemned.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

εἰ ἄνθρωπον Ῥωμαῖον καὶ ἀκατάκριτον, ἔξεστιν ὑμῖν μαστίζειν

¬if ˓a˒_man Roman (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡς Δέ προέτειναν αὐτόν τοῖς ἱμᾶσιν εἶπεν πρός τόν ἑστῶτα ἑκατόνταρχον ὁ Παῦλος εἰ ἄνθρωπον Ῥωμαῖον καί ἀκατάκριτον ἔξεστιν ὑμῖν μαστίζειν)

Paul is using the question form to challenge the right of the centurion and his soldiers to whip him. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [It is not lawful for you to whip a man who is a Roman citizen and who is uncondemned!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄνθρωπον Ῥωμαῖον καὶ ἀκατάκριτον

˓a˒_man Roman (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡς Δέ προέτειναν αὐτόν τοῖς ἱμᾶσιν εἶπεν πρός τόν ἑστῶτα ἑκατόνταρχον ὁ Παῦλος εἰ ἄνθρωπον Ῥωμαῖον καί ἀκατάκριτον ἔξεστιν ὑμῖν μαστίζειν)

In this context, the term Roman implicitly indicates Roman citizenship. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [a man who is a Roman citizen and who has not been condemned]
