OET interlinear ACTs 5:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τὸ Πνεῦμα Κυρίου?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος πρός αὐτήν Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τό Πνεῦμα Κυρίου Ἰδού οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τόν ἄνδρα σοῦ ἐπί τῇ θύρᾳ καί ἐξοίσουσιν σέ)

Peter is using the question form to rebuke Sapphira. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You should not have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν

˱it˲_˓was˒_agreed_together ˱by˲_you_all

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [you agreed together]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you

ὑμῖν & σου & σε

˱by˲_you_all & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος πρός αὐτήν Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τό Πνεῦμα Κυρίου Ἰδού οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τόν ἄνδρα σοῦ ἐπί τῇ θύρᾳ καί ἐξοίσουσιν σέ)

The word you in its first instance refers to two people, Ananias and Sapphira, so it would be dual if your language uses that form. Otherwise, it would be plural. The word your and the word you in its second instance refer only to Sapphira, so those words are singular.

πειράσαι τὸ Πνεῦμα Κυρίου

˓to˒_test (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος πρός αὐτήν Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τό Πνεῦμα Κυρίου Ἰδού οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τόν ἄνδρα σοῦ ἐπί τῇ θύρᾳ καί ἐξοίσουσιν σέ)

Here the word test means to challenge. Ananias and Sapphira were trying to see if they could get away with lying about how much they received for the land they sold. Alternate translation: [to challenge the Spirit of the Lord]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πειράσαι τὸ Πνεῦμα Κυρίου

˓to˒_test (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος πρός αὐτήν Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τό Πνεῦμα Κυρίου Ἰδού οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τόν ἄνδρα σοῦ ἐπί τῇ θύρᾳ καί ἐξοίσουσιν σέ)

Ananias and Sapphira actually tested or challenged the apostles, but Peter is speaking of the ultimate implications of their act, as he does similarly in [5:3](../05/03.md) and [5:4](../05/04.md). Since the Spirit of the Lord was present in the apostles, by challenging them, Ananias and Sapphira effectively lied to the Spirit. Alternate translation: [to test the Spirit of the Lord, who is present in us apostles]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ, οἱ πόδες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος πρός αὐτήν Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τό Πνεῦμα Κυρίου Ἰδού οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τόν ἄνδρα σοῦ ἐπί τῇ θύρᾳ καί ἐξοίσουσιν σέ)

Peter says Behold to get Sapphira to focus her attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here in your translation. Alternate translation: [And now the feet]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τὸν ἄνδρα σου ἐπὶ τῇ θύρᾳ

the feet ˱of˲_the_‹ones› ˓having˒_buried (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος πρός αὐτήν Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τό Πνεῦμα Κυρίου Ἰδού οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τόν ἄνδρα σοῦ ἐπί τῇ θύρᾳ καί ἐξοίσουσιν σέ)

Peter is referring to the return of the young men who buried Ananaias. Their feet represent them by association with the way they are using their feet to walk back. The door represents their return by association with the way they will come through the door when they return. Alternate translation: [the young men who buried your husband are just now returning]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τὸν ἄνδρα σου ἐπὶ τῇ θύρᾳ

the feet ˱of˲_the_‹ones› ˓having˒_buried (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος πρός αὐτήν Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τό Πνεῦμα Κυρίου Ἰδού οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τόν ἄνδρα σοῦ ἐπί τῇ θύρᾳ καί ἐξοίσουσιν σέ)

Peter is telling Sapphira implicitly that her husband died as a judgment from God when Peter confronted him with the lie about the price of the land. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [your husband died as a judgment from God when I confronted him with the lie you both told about the price of the land, and the young men who buried him are just now returning]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ἐξοίσουσίν σε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πέτρος πρός αὐτήν Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τό Πνεῦμα Κυρίου Ἰδού οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τόν ἄνδρα σοῦ ἐπί τῇ θύρᾳ καί ἐξοίσουσιν σέ)

The implications are that Sapphira is also going to die and that the same young men will carry her out to bury her. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: [You are also going to die as a judgment from God, and those same young men are going to carry you out and bury you]
