Lesson 34a — Acts 2:25-29



Do Your Three-Pass Effort at Translating the Verses

Pass #1:  Translate as many words as you can on your own.  Here are worksheets you can use:

Acts 2:25

Acts 2:26

Acts 2:27

Acts 2:28

Acts 2:29

Pass #2:  Use your reader's edition to fill in the words that are used less than 30 times in the NT.

At this point, see if you can manage any sort of translation of these verses, even if it is only fragmentary.
 

Pass #3:  Go to StepBible and fill in all the remaining words.

 

Read Verses Aloud to Yourself.

Acts 2

25 Δαυὶδ γὰρ λέγει εἰς αὐτόν· Προορώμην τὸν κύριον ἐνώπιόν μου διὰ παντός, ὅτι ἐκ δεξιῶν μού ἐστιν ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῶ.

26 διὰ τοῦτο ηὐφράνθη ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἡ γλῶσσά μου, ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου κατασκηνώσει ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι·

27 ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾅδην, οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν.

28 ἐγνώρισάς μοι ὁδοὺς ζωῆς, πληρώσεις με εὐφροσύνης μετὰ τοῦ προσώπου σου.

29 Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἐξὸν εἰπεῖν μετὰ παρρησίας πρὸς ὑμᾶς περὶ τοῦ πατριάρχου Δαυὶδ, ὅτι καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν καὶ ἐτάφη, καὶ τὸ μνῆμα αὐτοῦ ἔστιν ἐν ἡμῖν ἄχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης·
