OET interlinear ACTs 7:59

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἐπικαλούμενον καὶ λέγοντα

˱who˲_calling (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐλιθοβόλουν τόν Στέφανον ἐπικαλούμενον καί λέγοντα Κύριε Ἰησοῦ δέξαι τό πνεῦμα μού)

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The phrase calling out tells how Stephen was saying what he said. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: [as he was saying loudly]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

δέξαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου

receive (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐλιθοβόλουν τόν Στέφανον ἐπικαλούμενον καί λέγοντα Κύριε Ἰησοῦ δέξαι τό πνεῦμα μού)

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [please receive my spirit]
