OET interlinear ACTs 27:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐκρίθη τοῦ ἀποπλεῖν ἡμᾶς

˱it˲_˓was˒_judged ¬which ˓to_be˒_sailing_away us

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: [the Roman authorities decided that we should sail]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκρίθη τοῦ ἀποπλεῖν ἡμᾶς

˱it˲_˓was˒_judged ¬which ˓to_be˒_sailing_away us

Luke assumes that his readers will understand that he says us because he joined Paul at this point in the story. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand what is happening. UST models a way to do this.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμᾶς

us

As the General Notes to this chapter explain, here and in several other places Luke says “we,” us, and “our” to mean himself and others who were traveling with him, but not his readers. So use the exclusive form of those words if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: writing-participants

ἑκατοντάρχῃ ὀνόματι Ἰουλίῳ

˱to˲_˓a˒_centurion ˱by˲_˓the˒_name Julius

Luke is using the phrase a centurion to introduce Julius as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation.

Note 5 topic: translate-names

Ἰουλίῳ

Julius

The word Julius is the name of a man.

Note 6 topic: translate-names

σπείρης Σεβαστῆς

˱of˲_˓the˒_cohort ˱of˲_Augustus

The Augustan regiment was the name of the military unit from which this centurion came. Some versions translate this as the “Imperial regiment.”
