Contra the νετ Bib lethen, μια εκ παντων must be undone, since παντων goeswith κραζοντων (not part of some idiomaticexpression).All of which means we have quite a mess with thisverse. And ι‘m not sure just what this “one voice” hadto say as the others were shouting. The νετ Bibletranslation seems smooth, but grammatically is itpossible, and Culy/Parsons translation seems to leavethe “one voice” unattended.

The νετ bible attempts to give the meaning in clear and normalEnglish. When one voice comes from a whole crowd, the meaning is that thecrowd shouted in unison or “as with one voice”. (The Latin-derived “unison”is similar to φωνη μια.)The Culy/Parsons rendering is the special kind of “translation” one uses inGreek textbooks and discussions. The purpose is not to render the meaning inclear and normal English, but to talk about Greek grammar and words usingEnglish words. So, they have made a more literal rendering. If one assumesthat this is normal English, problems arise, because then the reader istrying to make sense out of it from normal English usage. The onevoice/sound is not from one person, but what emanates from the crowd. Theywere all shouting, but they shouted the same thing/sound/message. ι canalmost here the chanting of the crowd: μεγαλη hH αρτεμισ εφεσιων – μεγαλη hHARTEMIS εφεσιων – μεγαλη hH αρτεμισ εφεσιων….. for two hours!Iver Larsen
