TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ἐκοιμήθη

/was/_fallen_asleep

Paul is referring to death in a polite way by using the phrase fell asleep. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “passed away” or “died”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶδεν

/was/_added to the fathers ˱of˲_him and saw

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “people buried him with his fathers and he saw”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ

to the fathers ˱of˲_him

Paul is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “with his ancestors”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἶδεν διαφθοράν

saw decay

Paul is using the word saw to mean “experienced.” Alternate translation: “experienced decay” or “underwent decay”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διαφθοράν

decay

Here, the term decay refers to the decomposition of the body after death. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the decomposition of his body”
