UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ πειθομένου & αὐτοῦ

not /being/_persuaded & him

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. Alternate translation: “we were not persuading him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ πειθομένου

not /being/_persuaded

Luke assumes that his readers will understand what he and the others were not persuading Paul about. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “he was not being persuaded not to go to Jerusalem”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

τοῦ Κυρίου τὸ θέλημα γινέσθω

˱of˲_the Lord the will /let_be/_becoming

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “May the will of the Lord happen”
