7:9 The ⁴  patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold ⁵  him into Egypt. But ⁶  God was with him,

Kisah Para Rasul 7:15

7:15 So Jacob went down to Egypt and died there, ⁷  along with our ancestors, ⁸ 

Kisah Para Rasul 13:23-24

13:23 From the descendants ⁹  of this man ¹⁰  God brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, just as he promised. ¹¹  13:24 Before ¹²  Jesus ¹³  arrived, John ¹⁴  had proclaimed a baptism for repentance ¹⁵  to all the people of Israel.

13:39 and by this one ¹⁶  everyone who believes is justified ¹⁷  from everything from which the law of Moses could not justify ¹⁸  you. ¹⁹ 

Kisah Para Rasul 19:3

19:3 So Paul ²⁰  said, “Into what then were you baptized?” “Into John’s baptism,” they replied. ²¹ 

[1:5]  ¹ tn In the Greek text v. 5 is a continuation of the previous sentence, which is long and complicated. In keeping with the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:5]  ² tn The pronoun is plural in Greek.

[1:22]  ³ tn Here the pronoun “he” refers to Jesus.

[7:9]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ 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.

[7:15]  ⁷ 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.

[7:15]  ⁸ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[13:23]  ⁹ tn Or “From the offspring”; Grk “From the seed.”

[13:23]  sn From the descendants (Grk “seed”). On the importance of the seed promise involving Abraham, see Gal 3:6-29.

[13:23]  ¹⁰ sn The phrase this man is in emphatic position in the Greek text.

[13:23]  ¹¹ tn Grk “according to [his] promise.” The comparative clause “just as he promised” is less awkward in English.

[13:23]  sn Just as he promised. Note how Paul describes Israel’s history carefully to David and then leaps forward immediately to Jesus. Paul is expounding the initial realization of Davidic promise as it was delivered in Jesus.

[13:24]  ¹² tn Grk “John having already proclaimed before his coming a baptism…,” a genitive absolute construction which is awkward in English. A new sentence was begun in the translation at this point.

[13:24]  ¹³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the context for clarity, since God is mentioned in the preceding context and John the Baptist in the following clause.

[13:24]  ¹⁴ sn John refers here to John the Baptist.

[13:24]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “a baptism of repentance”; the genitive has been translated as a genitive of purpose.

[13:39]  ¹⁶ sn This one refers here to Jesus.

[13:39]  ¹⁷ tn Or “is freed.” The translation of δικαιωθῆναι (dikaiwqhnai) and δικαιοῦται (dikaioutai) in Acts 13:38-39 is difficult. BDAG 249 s.v. δικαιόω 3 categorizes δικαιωθῆναι in 13:38 (Greek text) under the meaning “make free/pure” but categorizes δικαιοῦται in Acts 13:39 as “be found in the right, be free of charges” (BDAG 249 s.v. δικαιόω 2.b.β). In the interest of consistency both verbs are rendered as “justified” in this translation.

[13:39]  ¹⁸ tn Or “could not free.”

[13:39]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “from everything from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.” The passive construction has been converted to an active one in the translation, with “by the law of Moses” becoming the subject of the final clause. The words “from everything from which the law of Moses could not justify you” are part of v. 38 in the Greek text, but due to English style and word order must be placed in v. 39 in the translation.

[19:3]  ²⁰ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:3]  ²¹ tn Grk “they said.”
