When we reached the end of Acts 2, we took a bit of a break to work on the vocabulary for chapter 3 as well as trying to generally improve our overall vocabulary. Further, we tried to exercise our eyes and ears by reading some longer passages.
It is time now to buckle down and get back into serious translation work in Acts. That said, I am still working on this lesson. Please check again in a few days.
Pass #1: Translate as many words as you can on your own. Here are worksheets you can use:
Pass #2: Use your reader's edition to fill in the words that are used 30 times, or less, in the NT.
At this point, see if you can manage any sort of translation of these verses, even if it is only fragmentary.

Acts 3
6 εἶπεν δὲ Πέτρος· Ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον οὐχ ὑπάρχει μοι, ὃ δὲ ἔχω τοῦτό σοι δίδωμι· ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου περιπάτει.
7 καὶ πιάσας αὐτὸν τῆς δεξιᾶς χειρὸς ἤγειρεν αὐτόν· παραχρῆμα δὲ ἐστερεώθησαν αἱ βάσεις αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ σφυδρά,
8 καὶ ἐξαλλόμενος ἔστη καὶ περιεπάτει, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν σὺν αὐτοῖς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν περιπατῶν καὶ ἁλλόμενος καὶ αἰνῶν τὸν θεόν.
9 καὶ εἶδεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτὸν περιπατοῦντα καὶ αἰνοῦντα τὸν θεόν,
10 πεγίνωσκον δὲ αὐτὸν ὅτι οὗτος ἦν ὁ πρὸς τὴν ἐλεημοσύνην καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῇ Ὡραίᾳ Πύλῃ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν θάμβους καὶ ἐκστάσεως ἐπὶ τῷ συμβεβηκότι αὐτῷ.
I am going to discontinue my pronunciation exercises with you. However, I still think it is a good idea to click on the button just below to listen to John Schwandt pronounce these verses. If you need to, you can listen to him repeatedly, and pronounce verses along with him.
