2:14-36 This is the first of about thirty speeches in Acts and one of the most important, standing as it does at the very inception of the church. It is a typical example of the preaching of the apostles, who proclaimed (1) that the Old Testament promises had been fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is the promised Messiah; (2) that the apostles themselves were eyewitnesses of Jesus’ entire public ministry and were his chosen representatives; (3) that people are called to repent of their sins and have faith in God through Christ; and (4) that salvation and the presence of the Holy Spirit are promised to those who respond affirmatively to this message of Good News. This basic message is echoed in the sermons of chs 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 13. The same themes characterized Paul’s preaching (see 1 Cor 15:3-9). This message was repeatedly preached to both Jews and Gentiles throughout the Mediterranean world; all people are summoned to repent of their sins and turn to God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Note 1 topic: translate-symaction
σταθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος σὺν τοῖς ἕνδεκα, ἐπῆρεν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ
/having_been/_stood but ¬the Peter with the eleven lifted_up the voice ˱of˲_him
Peter stood to show that he had something important to say, and the other apostles stood with him to show their support for him as he spoke. You could indicate that in your translation, perhaps as a separate sentence, if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “But Peter stood up to show that he had something important to say, and the other apostles stood with him to show their support for him as he spoke. Peter raised up his voice”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τοῖς ἕνδεκα
the eleven
Luke is using the adjective eleven as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the other 11 apostles”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐπῆρεν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπεφθέγξατο αὐτοῖς
lifted_up the voice ˱of˲_him and spoke_out ˱to˲_them
The idiom raised up his voice means that Peter spoke loudly. Alternate translation: “spoke out to them in a loud voice”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἄνδρες, Ἰουδαῖοι
men Judeans
This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: “My fellow Jews”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἄνδρες, Ἰουδαῖοι
men Judeans
Peter is using the term men in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If you retain the idiomatic form of address in your translation, follow the convention in your language that indicates a mixed group of people.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἰερουσαλὴμ πάντες
you_all dwelling_in Jerusalem all
This seems to mean implicitly people who are not Jews but who live in Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “all of you non-Jews who are residents of Jerusalem”
τοῦτο ὑμῖν γνωστὸν ἔστω
this ˱to˲_you_all known let_be
This expression means that Peter wants to explain the meaning of what the people are seeing and hearing. Alternate translation: “let me explain this to you” or “I am going to explain this to you”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
τοῦτο ὑμῖν γνωστὸν ἔστω
this ˱to˲_you_all known let_be
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 this be known to you” or “this should be known to you”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τοῦτο ὑμῖν γνωστὸν ἔστω
this ˱to˲_you_all known let_be
The word translated known is an adjective, so this is not a passive verbal form. However, if your language does not use passive forms, it might be clearer for your readers if you use an expression that does not seem to be a passive verbal form. The adjective known expresses the result of action by a different agent (you), so you can use an active form with that agent as the implied subject. Alternate translation: “know this”
Note 9 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ
and
Peter uses the word translated and to indicate what his listeners should do as a result of what he has just told them. Alternate translation: “so”
Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐνωτίσασθε τὰ ῥήματά μου
give_ear ˱to˲_the words ˱of˲_me
Peter is using the term words to mean what he is about to say by using words, and he is using the term ears to mean the capacity for listening. Alternate translation: “listen carefully to what I am about to say”
