UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

μετὰ ταῦτα ἀναστρέψω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μετά ταῦτα ἀναστρέψω καί ἀνοικοδομήσω τήν σκηνήν Δαυίδ τήν πεπτωκυῖαν καί τά κατεστραμμένα αὐτῆς ἀνοικοδομήσω καί ἀνορθώσω αὐτήν)

See the discussion in the introduction to this chapter about whether to represent this as the beginning of a third-level quotation or a second-level quotation, or whether to use some other punctuation or convention that is available in your language to indicate who the various speakers are in [verses 16–18](../15/16.md).

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἀναστρέψω & ἀνοικοδομήσω & ἀνοικοδομήσω

˱I˲_˓will_be˒_returning & ˱I˲_˓will_be˒_rebuilding_up & ˱I˲_˓will_be˒_rebuilding_up

The pronoun I refers to God, who is speaking through the prophet Amos. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [I, God, will return]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀναστρέψω

˱I˲_˓will_be˒_returning

God is speaking of showing favor to the Israelites once again as if he had gone somewhere else but will now return. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will show favor to the Israelites once again]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἀνοικοδομήσω τὴν σκηνὴν Δαυεὶδ τὴν πεπτωκυῖαν, καὶ τὰ κατεστραμμένα αὐτῆς, ἀνοικοδομήσω καὶ ἀνορθώσω αὐτήν

˱I˲_˓will_be˒_rebuilding_up ˱I˲_˓will_be˒_rebuilding_up (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μετά ταῦτα ἀναστρέψω καί ἀνοικοδομήσω τήν σκηνήν Δαυίδ τήν πεπτωκυῖαν καί τά κατεστραμμένα αὐτῆς ἀνοικοδομήσω καί ἀνορθώσω αὐτήν)

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if the repetition might be confusing, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [I will rebuild the fallen tent of David, yes, I will rebuild its ruins and restore it]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

God is speaking of the royal dynasty of David as if it were a tent that had fallen down. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will restore the dynasty of David, which is no longer ruling over the people of Israel, yes, I will make one of David’s descendants king again and restore his dynasty]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὴν σκηνὴν Δαυεὶδ τὴν πεπτωκυῖαν

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: [the tent of David that has fallen]

Paul and Barnabas Travel to the Jerusalem Council

Acts 15

Paul’s first three missionary journeys originated from Antioch, one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire by Paul’s time. Founded by Seleucus I Nicator, it first served as the capital of the Seleucid Empire, and by the time of Paul it boasted a significant Jewish population. Decades earlier King Herod the Great of Judea had funded the building of a marble colonnaded street there that was nearly two miles (3.2 km) long. As persecuted followers of Jesus fled Judea, some of them traveled as far as Antioch. There they led many Jews and even Gentiles to become believers, and it was in Antioch that the followers of Jesus were first called “Christians” (Acts 11:19-26). Antioch was also the starting point for Paul’s first three missionary journeys (Acts 13:1-3; 15:36-41; 18:22-23). After Paul’s first missionary journey, some people came to Antioch from Judea and began to teach that all believers–Jews and Gentiles–must be circumcised and follow the laws of Moses (Acts 15:1). But Paul and Barnabas argued against them. So the church in Antioch sent Paul and Barnabas and other leaders to Jerusalem to discuss this issue with the apostles and elders there. As they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria on their way to Jerusalem, they told others (presumably Jewish believers) about the conversion of many Gentiles to the faith, and all the believers rejoiced with them. After Paul and the other leaders arrived in Jerusalem and were warmly received by the church there, their reports about the conversion of Gentiles led some believers from the sect of the Pharisees to insist that these new believers be circumcised and follow the laws of Moses. After much debate about the matter, the apostles and elders in Jerusalem decided that Gentile believers did not need to follow the laws of Moses except for a few critical requirements: that they abstain from sacrifices made to idols, from blood, from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. Then the Jerusalem church sent Paul and the other leaders back to Antioch with a letter stating this decision. After Paul and the others arrived in Antioch and delivered the letter, the church in Antioch rejoiced. Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch and continued to teach the believers there. Sometime after this Paul and a believer named Silas embarked on a second missionary journey to visit the churches that Paul had helped to found during his first missionary journey, and Barnabas took his relative John Mark to minister in his home region of Cyprus.
