OET interlinear ACTs 2:42

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἦσαν & προσκαρτεροῦντες τῇ διδαχῇ τῶν ἀποστόλων, καὶ τῇ κοινωνίᾳ, τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου, καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς

˱they˲_were & persevering ˱in˲_the teaching ˱of˲_the ambassadors and ¬the ˱in˲_fellowship the breaking ˱of˲_the bread and ¬the ˱in˲_prayers

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas behind the words teaching and fellowship, you could express the same ideas with equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: “they continued to learn from what the apostles taught and to share life with one another, and to break bread together and to pray together”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου

˱in˲_the ¬the the breaking ˱of˲_the bread

Luke could be using the word breaking to mean “eating,” and he could be using the word bread to mean “food.” In each case he would be using one part of something to mean the whole thing. Breaking bread is one thing people do when they eat it, and bread is one kind of food. So this could be a reference to the believers sharing meals together. Alternate translation: “in sharing meals” or see the next note for a further possibility.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου

˱in˲_the ¬the the breaking ˱of˲_the bread

By the breaking of bread, Luke could also mean remembering the death of Jesus in the way that Jesus commanded, by literally breaking a loaf of bread and sharing it and also sharing a cup of wine. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “in observing the Lord’s Supper”
