I was wondering if I could get you all's thoughts on how Acts 15:19 should be translated properly into English, so as to give the truest meaning of the Aramaic Text...I have supplied a number of English translations for comparison of the verse.
Younan: Acts 15:19 Because of this (I) say I you should not be oppressors to those who from the Gentiles are turning to God.
Roth: Acts 15:19 Because of this (I) say that you should not be those oppressors who from the Gentiles are turning to Elohim.
Etheridge: Acts 15:19 On this account I say, that we should not molest those who from the Gentiles have been converted unto Aloha;
Murdock: Acts 15:19 Therefore I say to you, let them not crush those who from among the Gentiles have turned unto God.
Lamsa: Acts 15: 19 Because of this I say, Do not trouble those who turn to God from among the Gentiles.
Bauscher: 19. ???Therefore I say, let us not trouble those who are being turned to God from the Gentiles."
Alexander: Acts 15:19 Because of this I say, do not be suspicious of those from the nations who return back to God.
