UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

ἀναστὰς

/having/_stood_up

Here the term arising means that Paul stood up to show that he indeed wanted to speak, as he had been invited to do. See how you translated the similar expression in 2:14. Alternate translation: “standing up to show that he wanted to speak”

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

κατασείσας τῇ χειρὶ

/having/_gestured ˱with˲_his hand

This likely means that Paul waved his hand to get the attention of the audience and signal that he was about to speak. He wanted everyone in the synagogue to hear what he had to say from the very first word, so he did this to quiet them. Alternate translation: “waving his hand to signal that he was about to speak”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες, Ἰσραηλεῖται, καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν

men (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναστὰς δὲ Παῦλος καὶ κατασείσας τῇ χειρὶ εἶπεν ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν ἀκούσατε)

This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: “You Israelites and you who fear God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν

you_all revering ¬the God

Jews in the time of the New Testament used the expression fearing God to describe Gentiles (non-Jews) who worshiped the God of Israel and attended the synagogue. That is what Paul means here. See how you translated the similar expression in 10:2. Alternate translation: “you Gentiles who sincerely worship the God of Israel”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἀκούσατε

hear_‹me›

This is an imperative, but it communicates a request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “please listen to what I am about to say”
