γέγραπται γὰρ
˱it˲_/has_been/_written for
Luke now resumes his quotation of what Peter said on this occasion. If you are identifying quotations in your translation by putting them within quotation marks or by using some other punctuation or convention that your language uses, there should be an opening quotation mark or the equivalent before this phrase. It may also be helpful to indicate explicitly that the quotation resumes here. Alternate translation: [Peter went on to say, ‘For it is written’]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
γέγραπται & ἐν βίβλῳ Ψαλμῶν, γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος, καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ; καί, τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ, λαβέτω ἕτερος

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [it is written in the book of Psalms that his habitation should be made desolate, with no one dwelling in it, and that another should take his overseership]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γέγραπται & ἐν βίβλῳ Ψαλμῶν
˱it˲_/has_been/_written & in scroll ˱of˲_Psalms
If it would be clearer in your language, you could state this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: [David wrote in the book of Psalms]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος, καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ
/let_be/_become the /the/_homestead ˱of˲_him desolate and not let_be the_‹one› dwelling in it
If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [May his habitation become desolate, and may no one be dwelling in it] or [His habitation should become desolate, and no one should be dwelling be in it]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος, καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ
/let_be/_become the /the/_homestead ˱of˲_him desolate and not let_be the_‹one› dwelling in it
This is an imperative, but it communicates a request rather than a command. The psalmist is asking God to judge and punish the wicked. 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 let his habitation become desolate, and please let no one be dwelling in it] or [Please may his habitation become desolate, and please may no one be dwelling in it]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος, καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ
/let_be/_become the /the/_homestead ˱of˲_him desolate and not let_be the_‹one› dwelling in it
It may be more natural in your language to use the second person for this imperative. Alternate translation: [God, please make his habitation desolate, and please make no one dwell in it]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος, καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ
/let_be/_become the /the/_homestead ˱of˲_him desolate and not let_be the_‹one› dwelling in it
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. Or you could combine the phrases if you think that would be the clearest thing to do. Alternate translation: [Let his habitation be made desolate, yes, let no one dwell in it] or [Let his habitation be made completely desolate]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος, καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ
/let_be/_become the /the/_homestead ˱of˲_him desolate and not let_be the_‹one› dwelling in it
The word habitation likely refers to Judas’ home and is a metaphor for his family line. Alternate translation: [May he leave no descendants, none to continue his family line]
τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ, λαβέτω ἕτερος
the overseeing ˱of˲_him /let/_take another
The word overseership refers to a position of leadership and supervision. It is the same term that Paul uses for a spiritual leader in 1 Timothy 3:1. Alternate translation: [Let someone else take his leadership position]
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ, λαβέτω ἕτερος
the overseeing ˱of˲_him /let/_take another
If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [May another take his overseership] or [Another should take his overseership]
Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ, λαβέτω ἕτερος
the overseeing ˱of˲_him /let/_take another
This is an imperative, but it communicates a request rather than a command. The psalmist is continuing God to judge and punish the wicked. 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 let another take his overseership] or [Please may another take his overseership]
Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ, λαβέτω ἕτερος
the overseeing ˱of˲_him /let/_take another
It may be more natural in your language to use the second person for this imperative. Alternate translation: [God, make another take his overseership] or [God, please give his overseership to another]
