OET interlinear ACTs 5:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναστάς Δέ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς καί πάντες οἱ σύν αὐτῷ ἡ οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου)

Luke uses the word But to introduce a strong contrast into the story. Your language may have its own way of introducing a contrasting narrative. You could also refer back to the previous action in order to highlight the contrast. Alternate translation: [But even though the apostles were doing so much good,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / events

ἀναστὰς & ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ, ἡ οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου,

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναστάς Δέ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς καί πάντες οἱ σύν αὐτῷ ἡ οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου)

The high priest and these Sadducees were first filled with jealousy and then they rose up (took action) against the apostles. To make this clear in your translation, it may be helpful to describe the events in that order. Alternate translation: [the high priest and all those with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees) were filled with jealousy and they rose up]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀναστὰς & ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ, ἡ οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου,

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναστάς Δέ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς καί πάντες οἱ σύν αὐτῷ ἡ οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an active verbal form instead of the passive form were filled. Alternate translation: [jealousy filled the high priest and all those with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees) and they rose up]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναστὰς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναστάς Δέ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς καί πάντες οἱ σύν αὐτῷ ἡ οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου)

Here the expression rising up means that the high priest decided to take action, not that he stood up from a seated position. Alternate translation: [taking action]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντες οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ, ἡ οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων

all the_‹ones› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναστάς Δέ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς καί πάντες οἱ σύν αὐτῷ ἡ οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου)

The phrase all those with him means specifically all the other priests who joined the high priest in taking action against the apostles. Luke observes here that those other priests were from the group known as the Sadducees. As a note to [4:1](../04/01.md) explains, they opposed the apostles’ teaching because they did not believe in the resurrection. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [and all of the priests from the group known as the Sadducees who wanted to oppose the apostles’ teaching because they did not believe in the resurrection]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου

˓were˒_filled ˱with˲_jealousy

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word jealousy, you could express the same idea with an adjective such as “jealous.” Alternate translation: [became very jealous]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου

˓were˒_filled ˱with˲_jealousy

Luke is speaking as if the high priest and his allies were containers that jealousy filled. Alternate translation: [became very jealous]
