ACTs 11:9 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἃ ὁ Θεὸς ἐκαθάρισεν, σὺ μὴ κοίνου

for out_of ¬the heaven what ¬the God cleansed you not ˓be˒_defiling

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [from heaven and told me that I must not make common what God had cleansed]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ἃ ὁ Θεὸς ἐκαθάρισεν

what ¬the God cleansed

If God is the speaker, he is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person in your translation. Alternate translation: [What I, God, have cleansed]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

σὺ μὴ κοίνου

you not ˓be˒_defiling

The voice is adding the pronoun you for emphasis. If your language does not ordinarily use a pronoun with the imperative but can do so for emphasis, it would be appropriate to do that here. You could also express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [you must not make common]
