UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν μὲν πρῶτον λόγον ἐποιησάμην

the indeed first account ˱I˲_made

Luke assumes that Theophilus will know that by the first account he means the book that has become known as the Gospel of Luke. Since that book was not known by that title at this time, it would not be accurate to put the title in your translation as a name that Luke would have used to describe the book to Theophilus. However, you could explain this in a footnote and use another expression here. Alternate translation: “I wrote in my first volume”

ὦ Θεόφιλε

O Theophilus

Here Luke is identifying and addressing the man for whom he complied this account of the early church. Since this is like the salutation of a letter, in your translation you may wish to follow your culture’s way of identifying and greeting the addressee of a letter. UST models this by saying “Dear Theophilus” and putting the phrase at the beginning of the sentence.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Θεόφιλε

Theophilus

Theophilus is the name of a man. It means “friend of God.” It may be his actual name, or it may describe what this man was like. Most translations treat it as his name.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

περὶ πάντων & ὧν ἤρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς ποιεῖν τε καὶ διδάσκειν

concerning all_‹things› & ˱of˲_which began (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τὸν μὲν πρῶτον λόγον ἐποιησάμην περὶ πάντων ὦ Θεόφιλε ὧν ἤρξατο Ἰησοῦς ποιεῖν τε καὶ διδάσκειν)

Luke is using the word began to indicate that Jesus had been doing something else (working as a carpenter) but then began to do something new when he started his ministry. In your language, it might not be necessary to translate the word began, since it might seem to convey redundant information that would be not be natural to express. Alternate translation: “all that Jesus both did and taught”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

περὶ πάντων & ὧν ἤρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς ποιεῖν τε καὶ διδάσκειν

This is a generalization for emphasis. Alternate translation: “about some of the most important things that Jesus did and taught”
