OET interlinear ACTs 9:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναστὰς, πορεύθητι ἐπὶ τὴν ῥύμην τὴν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Κύριος πρός αὐτόν Ἀναστάς πορεύθητι ἐπί τήν ῥύμην τήν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν καί ζήτησον ἐν οἰκίᾳ Ἰούδα Σαῦλον ὀνόματι Ταρσέα ἰδού γάρ προσεύχεται)

Here, the word arising means that God wants Ananias to take action, not that Ananias is lying down or sitting down and God wants him to stand up. You may be able to convey this with a different kind of expression. Alternate translation: [Go on over to Straight Street]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὴν ῥύμην τὴν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Κύριος πρός αὐτόν Ἀναστάς πορεύθητι ἐπί τήν ῥύμην τήν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν καί ζήτησον ἐν οἰκίᾳ Ἰούδα Σαῦλον ὀνόματι Ταρσέα ἰδού γάρ προσεύχεται)

If your language does not use the passive form called, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation, as in UST: [the street that people call Straight]

Note 3 topic: translate-names

τὴν ῥύμην τὴν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Κύριος πρός αὐτόν Ἀναστάς πορεύθητι ἐπί τήν ῥύμην τήν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν καί ζήτησον ἐν οἰκίᾳ Ἰούδα Σαῦλον ὀνόματι Ταρσέα ἰδού γάρ προσεύχεται)

Straight is the name of a street. Alternate translation: [Straight Street]

Note 4 topic: translate-names

Ἰούδα

˱of˲_Judas

Judas it the name of a man. This is not the disciple who betrayed Jesus (that man died); this Judas was the owner of a house in Damascus where Saul was staying. But you may translate the name here the same way you did in 1:13, 1:16, and 5:37 for the disciple and two other men with the same name.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ γὰρ, προσεύχεται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Κύριος πρός αὐτόν Ἀναστάς πορεύθητι ἐπί τήν ῥύμην τήν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν καί ζήτησον ἐν οἰκίᾳ Ἰούδα Σαῦλον ὀνόματι Ταρσέα ἰδού γάρ προσεύχεται)

The Lord says behold to get Ananias to focus his attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here in your translation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Now listen carefully: He is praying]
