OET interlinear ACTs 7:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀδικῶν τόν πλησίον ἀπώσατο αὐτόν εἰπών Τίς σέ κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καί δικαστήν ἐφʼ ἡμῶν)

The word him refers to Moses, not to the neighbor. Alternate translation: [Moses]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἰπών, τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστὴν ἐφ’ ἡμῶν

˓having˒_said (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀδικῶν τόν πλησίον ἀπώσατο αὐτόν εἰπών Τίς σέ κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καί δικαστήν ἐφʼ ἡμῶν)

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: [asking him who appointed him a ruler and a judge over them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστὴν ἐφ’ ἡμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀδικῶν τόν πλησίον ἀπώσατο αὐτόν εἰπών Τίς σέ κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καί δικαστήν ἐφʼ ἡμῶν)

The man is using a rhetorical question 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: [No one appointed you a ruler and judge over us!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστὴν

ruler (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀδικῶν τόν πλησίον ἀπώσατο αὐτόν εἰπών Τίς σέ κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καί δικαστήν ἐφʼ ἡμῶν)

In this context, the words ruler and judge mean basically the same thing. The man is using repetition to emphasize the fact that he feels that Moses has no authority over them. If your language does not use repetition for such a purpose, you could use a single phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [an authority with power]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

us

The man is using the word our to refer to himself and to his neighbor, but not to Moses, so use the exclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
