1:13-26 While the apostles waited for the promised gift of the Holy Spirit (1:4-5), the whole company of 120 disciples in Jerusalem engaged in earnest prayer (1:13-14) and then appointed an apostle to replace Judas Iscariot (1:15-26).
Note 1 topic: translate-versebridge
Judas betrayed Jesus and abandoned his position as an apostle. The person who is praying says that in the next verse. As a result, the believers are asking God to show them whom he has chosen to replace Judas, as the person praying says in this verse. You could put the reason before the result by creating a verse bridge. UST provides a model for doing that.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
προσευξάμενοι, εἶπαν
/having/_prayed ˱they˲_said
Together the words praying and said indicate that the believers said what they did while praying. Alternate translation: “they said in prayer” or “they prayed”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
προσευξάμενοι, εἶπαν
/having/_prayed ˱they˲_said
The pronoun they refers to all of the believers, but one of the apostles alone probably spoke these words on behalf of everyone. Alternate translation: “as the believers were all praying together, one of the apostles said”
σὺ Κύριε, καρδιογνῶστα πάντων
you Lord heart_knower ˱of˲_all
Alternate translation: “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
σὺ Κύριε, καρδιογνῶστα πάντων
you Lord heart_knower ˱of˲_all
Here, the heart represents the thoughts and motives. Alternate translation: “You, Lord, who know the thoughts and motives of all people”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / youformal
σὺ Κύριε
you Lord
The word you is singular because the person who is praying is addressing God. If your language has a formal form of “you” that it uses to address a superior respectfully, you may wish to use that form in your translation. However, it might be more natural in your language for someone who has a good, close relationship with God to address God using the informal form of “you.” Use your best judgment about what form to use here.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὃν ἐξελέξω ἐκ τούτων τῶν δύο ἕνα
which ˱you˲_chose of these ¬the two one
The person who is praying is using the adjective two as a noun to refer to specific people, the two men whom the believers have proposed. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could add the term “men” to clarify the meaning. Alternate translation: “which one of these two men”
