OET interlinear ACTs 26:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

νῦν

now

Paul is using the word translated as Now to introduce a new phase of his defense. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that would be natural for this purpose.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἕστηκα κρινόμενος

˱I˲_˓have˒_stood ˓being˒_judged

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: [you are judging me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι τῆς εἰς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας, γενομένης ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ

for ˓the˒_hope ˱of˲_the to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί νῦν ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι τῆς εἰς τούς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας γενομένης ὑπό τοῦ Θεοῦ ἕστηκα κρινόμενος)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hope, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [because I hope in the promise made to our fathers by God]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῆς εἰς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας, γενομένης ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱of˲_the to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί νῦν ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι τῆς εἰς τούς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας γενομένης ὑπό τοῦ Θεοῦ ἕστηκα κρινόμενος)

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: [of the promise that God made to our fathers]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

τῆς εἰς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας, γενομένης ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱of˲_the to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί νῦν ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι τῆς εἰς τούς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας γενομένης ὑπό τοῦ Θεοῦ ἕστηκα κρινόμενος)

Since Paul explains in [verse 8](../26/08.md) that the promise for which he has hope is the resurrection from the dead, here you do not need to explain further what Paul means.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί νῦν ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι τῆς εἰς τούς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας γενομένης ὑπό τοῦ Θεοῦ ἕστηκα κρινόμενος)

Paul is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [our ancestors]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί νῦν ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι τῆς εἰς τούς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας γενομένης ὑπό τοῦ Θεοῦ ἕστηκα κρινόμενος)

By our, Paul means himself and his fellow Jews but not Agrippa to whom he is speaking, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
