OET interlinear ACTs 7:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

It is clear from the context that these were two Israelite men, though Stephen does not say that specifically. Alternate translation: [to two Israelite men]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

αὐτοῖς & αὐτοὺς & ἐστε & ἀδικεῖτε

˱to˲_them & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τῇ Τέ ἐπιούσῃ ἡμέρᾳ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς μαχομένοις καί συνήλλασσεν αὐτούς εἰς εἰρήνην εἰπών Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἐστέ ἵνα Τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους)

Since Moses is speaking to two people, these uses of them and you would be dual if your language uses that form. Otherwise, they would be plural.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

συνήλλασσεν αὐτοὺς εἰς εἰρήνην

˱he˲_˓was˒_reconciling (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τῇ Τέ ἐπιούσῃ ἡμέρᾳ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς μαχομένοις καί συνήλλασσεν αὐτούς εἰς εἰρήνην εἰπών Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἐστέ ἵνα Τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [he urged them to stop fighting]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἰπών, ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί ἐστε. ἱνα τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους

˓having˒_said (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τῇ Τέ ἐπιούσῃ ἡμέρᾳ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς μαχομένοις καί συνήλλασσεν αὐτούς εἰς εἰρήνην εἰπών Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἐστέ ἵνα Τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους)

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [telling them that they were brothers and asking them why they were hurting each other]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τῇ Τέ ἐπιούσῃ ἡμέρᾳ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς μαχομένοις καί συνήλλασσεν αὐτούς εἰς εἰρήνην εἰπών Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἐστέ ἵνα Τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους)

This is an idiomatic form of address. Translate it with an expression that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Friends]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Moses is using the word brothers to mean “kinsmen.” Alternate translation: [kinsmen]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἱνα τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τῇ Τέ ἐπιούσῃ ἡμέρᾳ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς μαχομένοις καί συνήλλασσεν αὐτούς εἰς εἰρήνην εἰπών Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἐστέ ἵνα Τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους)

Moses is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [You should not be hurting each other!]
