Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γλεύκους μεμεστωμένοι εἰσίν
˱of˲_sweet_wine /having_been/_filled ˱they˲_are
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. However, it would be preferable to use an equivalent expression that conveys the meaning rather than to say something like “sweet wine has filled them.” Alternate translation: “They have drunk their fill of sweet wine”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
γλεύκους μεμεστωμένοι εἰσίν
˱of˲_sweet_wine /having_been/_filled ˱they˲_are
The implications of this statement are that the disciples have gotten drunk and are babbling and that this is the explanation for the languages the people think they are hearing. Alternate translation: “They have gotten drunk on sweet wine, and so what we are hearing is just drunken babbling”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
γλεύκους
˱of˲_sweet_wine
This refers to wine that is thicker and more intoxicating than ordinary wine. If your readers would not be familiar with this drink, you could use the name of another strong drink that they would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “with strong liquor”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
