Kisah Para Rasul 7:9-12

7:9 The ¹⁷  patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold ¹⁸  him into Egypt. But ¹⁹  God was with him, 7:10 and rescued him from all his troubles, and granted him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made ²⁰  him ruler over Egypt and over all his household. 7:11 Then a famine occurred throughout ²¹  Egypt and Canaan, causing ²²  great suffering, and our ²³  ancestors ²⁴  could not find food. 7:12 So when Jacob heard that there was grain ²⁵  in Egypt, he sent our ancestors ²⁶  there ²⁷  the first time.

[14:1]  ² tn Heb “craftsman of a wall,” that is, masons skilled at building stone walls.

[14:2]  ³ tn Heb “was lifted upwards.”

[5:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they sent and gathered.”

[5:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “me.”

[5:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “my.”

[5:11]  ⁷ tn Or “panic.”

[5:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “the hand of God was very heavy there.”

[5:17]  ⁹ sn See the note on Sadducees in 4:1.

[5:17]  ¹⁰ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[5:17]  ¹¹ sn Filled with jealousy. In Acts, the term “jealousy” (ζήλος, zhlos) occurs only here and in Acts 13:45. It is a key term in Judaism for religiously motivated rage (1 Macc 2:24; 1QH 14:13-15; m. Sanhedrin 9:5). It was a zeal motivated by a desire to maintain the purity of the faith.

[5:18]  ¹² tn Grk “jealousy, and they.” In the Greek text this is a continuation of the previous sentence, but a new sentence has been started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[5:18]  ¹³ tn Or “they arrested.”

[6:7]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “kept on spreading”; the verb has been translated as a progressive imperfect.

[6:7]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “a great multitude.”

[6:7]  sn A large group. Many Jews, even some religious leaders, were responding.

[7:9]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “And the.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[7:9]  ¹⁸ tn The meaning “sell” for the middle voice of ἀποδίδωμι (apodidwmi) is given by BDAG 110 s.v. 5.a. See Gen 37:12-36, esp. v. 28.

[7:9]  ¹⁹ tn Though the Greek term here is καί (kai), in context this remark is clearly contrastive: Despite the malicious act, God was present and protected Joseph.

[7:10]  ²⁰ tn Or “appointed.” See Gen 41:41-43.

[7:11]  ²¹ tn Grk “came upon all Egypt.”

[7:11]  ²² tn Grk “and,” but logically causal.

[7:11]  ²³ sn Our. Stephen spoke of “our” ancestors (Grk “fathers”) in an inclusive sense throughout the speech until his rebuke in v. 51, where the nation does what “your” ancestors did, at which point an exclusive pronoun is used. This serves to emphasize the rebuke.

[7:11]  ²⁴ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:12]  ²⁵ tn Or possibly “food,” since in a number of extrabiblical contexts the phrase σιτία καὶ ποτά (sitia kai pota) means “food and drink,” where solid food is contrasted with liquid nourishment (L&N 3.42).

[7:12]  ²⁶ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:12]  ²⁷ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[7:2]  ²⁸ tn Grk “said.”

[7:2]  ²⁹ tn Or “ancestor”; Grk “father.”

[12:12]  ³⁰ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:12]  ³¹ tn Grk “John who was also called Mark.”

[12:12]  sn John Mark becomes a key figure in Acts 12:25; 13:5, 13; 15:37-39.

[22:6]  ³² tn Grk “It happened that as.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[22:6]  ³³ tn Grk “going and nearing Damascus.”

[22:6]  sn En route and near Damascus. This is the first retelling of Paul’s Damascus Road experience in Acts (cf. Acts 9:1-9; the second retelling is in Acts 26:9-20).

[22:6]  ³⁴ tn BDAG 472 s.v. ἱκανός 3.b has “φῶς a very bright light Ac 22:6.”

[22:6]  ³⁵ tn Or “from the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[22:6]  ³⁶ tn Or “shone.”

[3:7]  ³⁷ tn Heb “silver.”
