OET interlinear ACTs 28:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οἵ & βάρβαροι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Τέ βάρβαροι παρεῖχαν οὒ τήν τυχοῦσαν φιλανθρωπίαν ἡμῖν ἅψαντες γάρ πυράν προσελάβοντο πάντας ἡμάς διά τόν ὑετόν τόν ἐφεστῶτα καί διά τό ψῦχος)

Luke is using the word barbarians in the specific sense that it had in his culture. He means people who did not speak Greek or Latin. From his perspective and the perspective of the others with him, they were “foreigners,” but from their own perspectives, they were “natives” of the island. It may be appropriate to describe them that way in your translation. Alternate translation: [the natives]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐ τὴν τυχοῦσαν φιλανθρωπίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Τέ βάρβαροι παρεῖχαν οὒ τήν τυχοῦσαν φιλανθρωπίαν ἡμῖν ἅψαντες γάρ πυράν προσελάβοντο πάντας ἡμάς διά τόν ὑετόν τόν ἐφεστῶτα καί διά τό ψῦχος)

Luke is using a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [extraordinary benevolence]
