OET interlinear ACTs 22:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐγὼ δὲ ἀπεκρίθην, τίς εἶ, κύριε? εἶπέν τε πρὸς ἐμέ, ἐγώ εἰμι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος, ὃν σὺ διώκεις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγώ Δέ ἀπεκρίθην Τίς εἶ κύριε εἶπεν Τέ πρός ἐμέ Ἐγώ εἰμί Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὅν σύ διώκεις)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [And in response I asked this divine figure who he was, and he told me that he was Jesus the Nazarene, whom I was persecuting]

Note 2 topic: writing-politeness

τίς εἶ, κύριε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγώ Δέ ἀπεκρίθην Τίς εἶ κύριε εἶπεν Τέ πρός ἐμέ Ἐγώ εἰμί Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὅν σύ διώκεις)

Paul was not yet acknowledging that Jesus was Lord. He used that respectful title because he recognized that he was speaking to someone of divine power. If this might be confusing for your readers, you could use a similar term of respect. Alternate translation: [Who are you, Sir]
