OET interlinear ACTs 27:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πολλῆς & ἀσιτίας ὑπαρχούσης

˱of˲_much & abstinence being

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of abstinence, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [as we had gone a long time without eating food]

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

σταθεὶς & ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πολλῆς Τέ ἀσιτίας ὑπαρχούσης τότε σταθείς ὁ Παῦλος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν εἶπεν Ἔδει μέν ὦ ἄνδρες πειθαρχήσαντας μοί μή ἀνάγεσθαι ἀπό τῆς Κρήτης κερδῆσαι τέ τήν ὕβριν ταύτην καί τήν ζημίαν)

Paul stood up to indicate that he had something important to say. Alternate translation: [having stood up in the midst of them to show that he had something important to say]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τὴν ὕβριν ταύτην, καὶ τὴν ζημίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πολλῆς Τέ ἀσιτίας ὑπαρχούσης τότε σταθείς ὁ Παῦλος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν εἶπεν Ἔδει μέν ὦ ἄνδρες πειθαρχήσαντας μοί μή ἀνάγεσθαι ἀπό τῆς Κρήτης κερδῆσαι τέ τήν ὕβριν ταύτην καί τήν ζημίαν)

The terms injury and loss mean similar things. Paul is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [such a great loss]
