OET interlinear ACTs 27:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ & ἑκατοντάρχης τῷ κυβερνήτῃ καὶ τῷ ναυκλήρῳ μᾶλλον ἐπείθετο, ἢ τοῖς ὑπὸ Παύλου λεγομένοις

the & centurion ˱by˲_the captain (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἑκατοντάρχης τῷ κυβερνήτῃ καί τῷ ναυκλήρῳ μᾶλλον ἐπείθετο ἤ τοῖς ὑπό Παύλου λεγομένοις)

If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in other ways that are natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the pilot and the captain were persuading the centurion more by what they were saying than Paul was persuading him by what he was saying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ ναυκλήρῳ

˱by˲_the the ship_owner

Here the word captain could mean: (1) someone who was in command of the ship. Alternate translation: [the ship’s commander]; (2) someone who owned the ship and was in command of it. However, while this is a common meaning of the word, it is unlikely in this context. We learn from the story that this ship was carrying grain from Egypt to Italy and so it would have belonged to the emperor’s own fleet. Alternate translation: [the shipowner]
