OET interlinear ACTs 23:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῖχε κεκονιαμένε

wall ˓having_been˒_whitewashed

Paul is referring to the way a wall can be painted white to make it look clean. Paul was suggesting that, in the same way, Ananias appeared to look morally innocent, but he was really full of evil intent. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you who pretend to be good]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

καὶ σὺ κάθῃ κρίνων με κατὰ τὸν νόμον, καὶ παρανομῶν κελεύεις με τύπτεσθαι?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ὁ Παῦλος πρός αὐτόν εἶπεν τύπτειν σέ μέλλει Ὁ Θεός τοῖχε κεκονιαμένε Καί σύ κάθῃ κρίνων μέ κατά τόν νόμον καί παρανομῶν κελεύεις μέ τύπτεσθαι)

Paul is using the question form to challenge Ananias for what he has done. 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: [You should certainly not sit judging me by the law while acting contrary to the law by commanding me to be struck!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κελεύεις με τύπτεσθαι

˱you˲_˓are˒_commanding (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ὁ Παῦλος πρός αὐτόν εἶπεν τύπτειν σέ μέλλει Ὁ Θεός τοῖχε κεκονιαμένε Καί σύ κάθῃ κρίνων μέ κατά τόν νόμον καί παρανομῶν κελεύεις μέ τύπτεσθαι)

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: [command someone to strike me]
