OET interlinear ACTs 3:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

Μωϋσῆς μὲν εἶπεν, ὅτι προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει Κύριος, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν, ὡς ἐμέ αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἂν λαλήσῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς

Moses (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μωϋσῆς Μέν εἶπεν ὅτι Προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει Κύριος ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὡς ἐμέ αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατά παντᾶ ὅσα ἄν λαλήσῃ πρός ὑμᾶς)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Moses indeed said that the Lord our God would raise up a prophet like himself for us Israelites from among our brothers. Moses said that we were to listen to him according to everything—whatever he might speak to us]

Κύριος, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν

˓the˒_Lord the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μωϋσῆς Μέν εἶπεν ὅτι Προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει Κύριος ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὡς ἐμέ αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατά παντᾶ ὅσα ἄν λαλήσῃ πρός ὑμᾶς)

Some ancient manuscripts read “the Lord our God.” Peter would be quoting Deuteronomy 18:15 somewhat loosely but with the same basic meaning. ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “the Lord your God.” Peter would be quoting Deuteronomy 18:15 exactly. Still other ancient manuscripts read simply “the Lord God.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it has. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of ULT.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

Κύριος, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν

˓the˒_Lord the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μωϋσῆς Μέν εἶπεν ὅτι Προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει Κύριος ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὡς ἐμέ αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατά παντᾶ ὅσα ἄν λαλήσῃ πρός ὑμᾶς)

Moses is speaking of himself and his fellow Israelites, whom he is addressing, so use the inclusive form of the word our in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει

˱to˲_you_all ˓will_be˒_raising_up

Here the expression raise up does not mean “bring back to life,” as it did in [2:24](../02/24.md) and [2:32](../02/32.md). In this context, it refers instead to God giving someone the mission to go as a prophet to certain people with a message for them. Alternate translation: [will send to you]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν

the brothers ˱of˲_you_all

Moses is using the term brothers to mean people who are fellow descendants with his listeners of the founders of the Jewish nation. Alternate translation: [your kinsmen]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατὰ πάντα

˱from˲_him ˱you_all˲_˓will_be˒_hearing (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μωϋσῆς Μέν εἶπεν ὅτι Προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει Κύριος ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὡς ἐμέ αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατά παντᾶ ὅσα ἄν λαλήσῃ πρός ὑμᾶς)

Moses is using a future statement to give a command. Alternate translation: [You must listen to everything he tells you]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

˱from˲_him ˱you_all˲_˓will_be˒_hearing (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μωϋσῆς Μέν εἶπεν ὅτι Προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει Κύριος ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὡς ἐμέ αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατά παντᾶ ὅσα ἄν λαλήσῃ πρός ὑμᾶς)

Here, listen is an idiom that means “obey.” Alternate translation: [You must obey every command that he gives you]
