# Men, why are you doing these things?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Barnabas and Paul are rebuking the people for trying to sacrifice to them. AT: "Men, you must not do these things!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# doing these things
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"worshiping us"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# We also are human beings with the same feelings as you
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By this statement, Barnabas and Paul are saying that they are not gods. AT: "We are just human beings like you. We are not gods!"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# with the same feelings as you
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"like you in every way"
|

|
|
|

|
|
# turn from these useless things to a living God
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here "turn from ... to" is a metaphor meaning to stop doing one thing and start doing something else. AT: "stop worshiping these false gods that cannot help you, and instead begin to worship the living God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# a living God
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"a God who truly exists" or "a God who lives"
