UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἠκούσαμεν & ἡμῶν & οὐ διεστειλάμεθα

˱we˲_heard & us & not ˱we˲_instructed

Here and in the rest of the letter, by we and us (and “our”), the apostles and elders mean themselves and probably the rest of the church in Jerusalem, but not the Gentiles to whom they are writing, so use the exclusive forms of those words in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξ ἡμῶν

from us

The apostles and elders seem to mean implicitly that these people have gone out from their community, but not from among themselves. That is, the word some refers to people who were part of the church in Jerusalem, but who were not apostles or elders. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand the sentence. Alternate translation: “from our community” or “from here in Judea”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

λόγοις

˱by˲_words

The apostles and elders are using the term words to mean what the people who have gone out from them have been teaching by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by what they have been teaching”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἀνασκευάζοντες τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν

upsetting the hearts ˱of˲_you_all

The apostles and elders are using one part of the people to whom they are writing, their souls, to mean the people themselves. Alternate translation: “upsetting you”
