The Greek in Acts 1:16 that is translated “the Holy Spirit through David foretold” or similar in English is translated in the following ways:

• “David had told this as he was being given the words by the Holy Spirit” (Isthmus Mixe)
• “the Great Spirit of God was within the heart of David when he wrote the word ahead of time how Judas did” (Lalana Chinantec)
• “David told about this before it happened through the power of the Holy Spirit” (Xicotepec De Juárez Totonac)
• “as the Holy Spirit said, which David wrote” (Rincón Zapotec) (source for this and above: Viola Waterhouse in Notes on Translation August 1966, p. 86ff.)
