OET interlinear ACTs 2:43

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐγίνετο & πάσῃ ψυχῇ φόβος

˓was˒_becoming & ˱on˲_every soul reverence

Here the word fear describes a deep respect for God. Luke describes this fear as if it were a living thing that could come onto people. Alternate translation: [every soul began to feel a deep respect for God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐγίνετο & πάσῃ ψυχῇ φόβος

˓was˒_becoming & ˱on˲_every soul reverence

Luke is using one part of a person, the soul, to mean the entire person. Alternate translation: [every person began to feel a deep respect for God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἐγίνετο & πάσῃ ψυχῇ φόβος

˓was˒_becoming & ˱on˲_every soul reverence

Luke says every as a generalization for emphasis. Alternate translation: [very many people began to feel a deep respect for God]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πολλά & τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα διὰ τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο

many & wonders (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγίνετο Δέ πάσῃ ψυχῇ φόβος πολλά δέ τέρατα καί σημεῖα διά τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο)

Since Luke says that these things happened through the apostles, the implication is that God was doing them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make God the subject of this sentence and wonders and signs the object. Alternate translation: [God performed many wonders and signs through the apostles]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

πολλά & τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα

many & wonders (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγίνετο Δέ πάσῃ ψυχῇ φόβος πολλά δέ τέρατα καί σημεῖα διά τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο)

The terms wonders and signs mean similar things. Luke is using them together for emphasis. See how you translated the similar expression in [2:22](../02/22.md). Alternate translation: [many great miracles]
