OET interlinear ACTs 7:50

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

οὐχὶ ἡ χείρ μου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα πάντα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὐχί ἡ χείρ μού ἐποίησεν ταῦτα παντᾶ)

This is the end of the quotation from the prophet Isaiah that began in [verse 49](../07/49.md). See how you marked the beginning of the quotation there. It would be appropriate to mark its ending here with a closing second-level quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the end of a second-level quotation. If you used special formatting to set off the quotation, you could return to regular formatting after this verse.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐχὶ ἡ χείρ μου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα πάντα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὐχί ἡ χείρ μού ἐποίησεν ταῦτα παντᾶ)

God is using the question form for emphasis. 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: [My hand made all these things!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οὐχὶ ἡ χείρ μου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα πάντα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὐχί ἡ χείρ μού ἐποίησεν ταῦτα παντᾶ)

God is using one part of himself, his hand, to represent all of himself in the act of creating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: [Did I not make all these things?] or, if you choose to represent the rhetorical question as an exclamation, [I made all these things!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτα πάντα

these_‹things› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὐχί ἡ χείρ μού ἐποίησεν ταῦτα παντᾶ)

The phrase all these things refers back to “Heaven” and “earth” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [everything in creation]
