OET interlinear ACTs 2:38

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you

μετανοήσατε & βαπτισθήτω ἕκαστος ὑμῶν & τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ὑμῶν & λήμψεσθε

repent & ˓let_be˒_baptized each ˱of˲_you_all & ˱of˲_the sins ˱of˲_you_all & ˱you_all˲_˓will_be˒_receiving

The words you and your are plural, you will receive is a plural verb form, and the implied “you” in the imperative Repent is also plural. But the implied “you” in the imperative be baptized is singular, since the subject is each.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

βαπτισθήτω

˓let_be˒_baptized

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [allow us to baptize you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

in the name ˱of˲_Jesus Christ

Here the name of Jesus represents his authority. By being baptized, these believers were acknowledging Jesus’ authority over their lives as their Lord and Savior. Alternate translation: [to express your allegiance to Jesus Christ as your Lord]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ἄφεσιν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ὑμῶν

for forgiveness ˱of˲_the sins ˱of˲_you_all

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word forgiveness, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “forgive.” Alternate translation: [to show that you want God to forgive your sins]
