Kisah Para Rasul 13:22

13:22 After removing him, God ¹  raised up ²  David their king. He testified about him: ³  ‘I have found David ⁴  the son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, ⁵  who will accomplish everything I want him to do.’ ⁶ 

Kisah Para Rasul 17:31

17:31 because he has set ⁷  a day on which he is going to judge the world ⁸  in righteousness, by a man whom he designated, ⁹  having provided proof to everyone by raising ¹⁰  him from the dead.”

[13:22]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:22]  ² sn The expression raised up refers here to making someone king. There is a wordplay here: “raising up” refers to bringing someone onto the scene of history, but it echoes with the parallel to Jesus’ resurrection.

[13:22]  ³ tn Grk “about whom.” The relative pronoun (“whom”) was replaced by the pronoun “him” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek. The verb εἶπεν (eipen) has not been translated (literally “he said testifying”) because it is redundant when combined with the participle μαρτυρήσας (marturhsa", “testifying”). Instead the construction of verb plus participle has been translated as a single English verb (“testified”).

[13:22]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Ps 89:20.

[13:22]  ⁵ sn A quotation from 1 Sam 13:14.

[13:22]  ⁶ tn Or “who will perform all my will,” “who will carry out all my wishes.”

[17:31]  ⁷ tn Or “fixed.”

[17:31]  ⁸ sn The world refers to the whole inhabited earth.

[17:31]  ⁹ tn Or “appointed.” BDAG 723 s.v. ὁρίζω 2.b has “of persons appoint, designate, declare: God judges the world ἐν ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὥρισεν through a man whom he has appointed Ac 17:31.”

[17:31]  sn A man whom he designated. Jesus is put in the position of eschatological judge. As judge of the living and the dead, he possesses divine authority (Acts 10:42).

[17:31]  ¹⁰ tn The participle ἀναστήσας (anasthsa") indicates means here.
