UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory

δὲ

and

Luke uses the word translated Then to introduce information about what happened after Herod died. This is the end of the part of the story about him. Your language may have its own way of indicating how such information relates to a significant part of a larger story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Βαρναβᾶς δὲ καὶ Σαῦλος ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ, πληρώσαντες τὴν διακονίαν

Barnabas and and Saul returned to Jerusalem /having/_fulfilled the service

This can also be translated, “Then Barnabas and Saul returned, having completed their service in Jerusalem.” If that is the correct translation, then Luke is saying implicitly that they returned to Antioch. Alternate translation: “Then Barnabas and Saul returned to Antioch, having completed their service in Jerusalem”

Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants

Βαρναβᾶς δὲ καὶ Σαῦλος ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ

Barnabas and and Saul returned to Jerusalem

Some ancient copies say that Barnabas and Saul returned “from” Jerusalem, which makes sense, since in the next verse, Barnabas and Saul are back in Antioch. If the reading to is correct, this verse may be indicating that they went somewhere else in Judea and then returned to Jerusalem before going back to Antioch. If a translation of the Bible already exists in your area, you could consider using the reading in that translation. If there is not already a Bible translation in your area, you may wish to follow the readings of ULT and UST.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πληρώσαντες τὴν διακονίαν

/having/_fulfilled the service

This refers implicitly to the trip that Barnabas and Saul made to Jerusalem to deliver money from the believers in Antioch, which Luke describes in 11:29–30. Alternate translation: “having delivered to the church leaders in Jerusalem the money that the believers in Antioch had collected”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

Ἰωάννην, τὸν ἐπικληθέντα Μᾶρκον

John ¬which /having_been/_called Mark

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. See how you translated it in 12:12. Alternate translation: “John, whom people called Mark”
