13:16 ισραηλιται ¦ ισραηλειται TH WH
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, orange:accents differ, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
13:16-41 Paul accepted the invitation, motioned to quiet his audience (cp. 19:33; 21:40), and launched into a straightforward proclamation of the Good News. This is Paul’s first great speech in Acts, and it provides a model of his preaching to a Jewish audience (see 22:1-21).
Note 1 topic: translate-symaction
ἀναστὰς
/having/_stood_up
Here the term arising means that Paul stood up to show that he indeed wanted to speak, as he had been invited to do. See how you translated the similar expression in 2:14. Alternate translation: “standing up to show that he wanted to speak”
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
κατασείσας τῇ χειρὶ
/having/_gestured ˱with˲_his hand
This likely means that Paul waved his hand to get the attention of the audience and signal that he was about to speak. He wanted everyone in the synagogue to hear what he had to say from the very first word, so he did this to quiet them. Alternate translation: “waving his hand to signal that he was about to speak”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἄνδρες, Ἰσραηλεῖται, καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν
men (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναστὰς δὲ Παῦλος καὶ κατασείσας τῇ χειρὶ εἶπεν ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν ἀκούσατε)
This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: “You Israelites and you who fear God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν
you_all revering ¬the God
Jews in the time of the New Testament used the expression fearing God to describe Gentiles (non-Jews) who worshiped the God of Israel and attended the synagogue. That is what Paul means here. See how you translated the similar expression in 10:2. Alternate translation: “you Gentiles who sincerely worship the God of Israel”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
ἀκούσατε
hear_‹me›
This is an imperative, but it communicates a request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “please listen to what I am about to say”
