Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἰδών τινα ἀδικούμενον
/having/_seen one /being/_wronged
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the Egyptian who is mentioned later in the verse. Alternate translation: [seeing an Egyptian mistreating an Israelite]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐποίησεν ἐκδίκησιν τῷ καταπονουμένῳ, πατάξας τὸν Αἰγύπτιον
did vengeance ˱for˲_the_‹one› /being/_distressed /having/_struck the Egyptian
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [avenged him by striking the Egyptian who was oppressing him]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πατάξας τὸν Αἰγύπτιον
/having/_struck the Egyptian
Stephen assumes that his listeners will know that Moses hit the Egyptian so hard that he died. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [striking and killing the Egyptian]
7:1-53 Stephen responded to the accusations by testifying about his Lord (cp. Luke 21:12-17). Instead of defending himself against their prosecution, he became a witness in God’s prosecution of them, exposing their stubbornness and unfaithfulness to God. Stephen’s recital of Israel’s past reminded them of their repeated rejections of those whom God had sent.
• Stephen’s review of Israel’s history has three principal parts, dealing with the work of the patriarchs (Acts 7:2-16), the ministry of Moses (7:17-43), and the role of the Tabernacle and the Temple (7:44-50). Stephen followed up his historical survey with a clear attack on the hard-heartedness of his own people. With a prophetic challenge, he urged them to stop rebelling against the Holy Spirit and turn to God with repentance and faith.
