9:17 Ananias’s God-given role was to welcome Saul into the Christian family, beginning with laying hands on Saul to heal him and fill him with the Holy Spirit.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀπῆλθεν δὲ Ἁνανίας καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν
went_away and Ananias and came_in into the house
It may be helpful to state that Ananias went to the house before he entered into it. UST models one way to express this.
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
ἐπιθεὶς ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας
/having/_laid_on on him his hands
When Ananias laid his hands on Saul, this was a symbolic way of giving him a blessing. See the explanation at 9:2 and see how you translated the same expression there.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
σοι & ἤρχου & ἀναβλέψῃς
˱by˲_you & ˱you˲_/were/_coming & ˱you˲_/may/_receive_sight
All of the occurrences of the word you in this verse are singular and refer to Saul.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
Σαοὺλ, ἀδελφέ
Saul brother
Brother is a figurative title that Ananias is using for Saul. The two men are not actual brothers. This could mean: (1) that Ananias is already addressing Saul as someone who shares the same faith. See how you translated “brother” with this meaning in 1:15 and 6:3. Alternate translation: Saul, my fellow believer] (2) that Ananias is addressing Saul as a fellow Israelite, as the word is used in [3:17 and many other places in this book. Alternate translation: [Saul, my fellow Israelite]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὁ ὀφθείς σοι
the the_‹one› /having_been/_seen ˱by˲_you
Ananias is using the participle having appeared, which functions as an adjective, as a noun to mean a person, Jesus. ULT adds the term one to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [who appeared to you]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ᾗ ἤρχου
˱in˲_which ˱you˲_/were/_coming
Your language may say “coming” rather than going in a context such as this. Use whichever word is more natural. Alternate translation: [by which you were coming]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὅπως ἀναβλέψῃς καὶ πλησθῇς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου
so_that ˱you˲_/may/_receive_sight and /may_be/_filled ˱with˲_/the/_Spirit Holy
If your language does not use the passive form filled, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [so that you might see again and that the Holy Spirit might fill you]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πλησθῇς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου
/may_be/_filled ˱with˲_/the/_Spirit Holy
Ananias is speaking as if Saul were a container that the Holy Spirit could fill. Alternate translation: [receive the Holy Spirit]
