OET interlinear ACTs 8:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ & διασπαρέντες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οἱ μέν οὖν διασπαρέντες διῆλθον εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τόν λόγον)

Luke is using the participle having been scattered, which functions as an adjective, as a noun. ULT adds the term ones to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [the believers who had been scattered]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ & διασπαρέντες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οἱ μέν οὖν διασπαρέντες διῆλθον εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τόν λόγον)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could state this in active form. See how you translated it in [8:1](../08/01.md). Alternate translation: [the believers who had fled from the persecution]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν λόγον

Luke is using the term word to mean the message about Jesus that these believers shared by using words. See how you translated the term in [4:4](../04/04.md). Also see the General Notes to this chapter for the meaning of the word translated proclaiming here and many other times in this chapter. Alternate translation: [telling the good news about Jesus]
