OET interlinear ACTs 2:40

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἑτέροις & λόγοις πλείοσιν

˱with˲_other & words more

Luke is using the term words to mean things that Peter said by using words. Alternate translation: “by saying many other things”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

διεμαρτύρατο, καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτοὺς

˱he˲_testified and /was/_exhorting them

Here Luke is expressing a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word urged tells in what way Peter testified further about faith in Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this same idea with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “he testified urgently to them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σώθητε

/be/_saved

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: “Let God save you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς τῆς σκολιᾶς ταύτης

from ¬the generation ¬the crooked this

The implication is that God is going to punish this perverse generation. Alternate translation: “from the punishment that this perverse generation will suffer if it does not repent”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῆς γενεᾶς τῆς σκολιᾶς ταύτης

¬the generation ¬the crooked this

The word perverse describes things or actions that do not conform to what is right and expected. Peter may be referring implicitly to how the people of this generation rejected and killed Jesus. Alternate translation: “this wicked generation that rejected and killed Jesus” or “the wicked people of this time who rejected and killed Jesus”
