OET (OET-LV)And as they_were_going along the road, they_came to some water, and the eunuch is_saying:
Behold, water, what is_forbidding me to_be_immersed?

OET (OET-RV)As they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the official asked, “Look, here’s some water. What would stop me from being immersed here?”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τι ὕδωρ & ὕδωρ

some water & water

Luke and the official are using the word water to mean a body of water, such as a pool at a desert oasis. Alternate translation: “a pool of water … there is a pool of water”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί κωλύει με βαπτισθῆναι?

what /is/_forbidding me /to_be/_baptized

This question could be: (1) a rhetorical question that the eunuch is using as a polite way to ask Philip to baptize him. Alternate translation: “Please allow me to be baptized.” (2) a genuine request for information, since Philip seems to answer this question in 8:37 by identifying something that could keep the official from being baptized. Alternate translation: “Is there a condition I must meet in order to be baptized?”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

με βαπτισθῆναι

me /to_be/_baptized

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: “you from baptizing me”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:26-40 Philip obeyed the Holy Spirit’s leading and then seized the opportunity to share the message of Good News with a eunuch on the desert road . . . from Jerusalem to Gaza. This incident shows Philip’s remarkable effectiveness as a Christian apologist and evangelist in his outreach for Christ and in his commitment to bringing the Good News to all people regardless of social class or ethnicity.

OET (OET-RV)As they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the official asked, “Look, here’s some water. What would stop me from being immersed here?”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
