Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐκινήθη & ἡ πόλις ὅλη
/was/_stirred & the city whole
Here, the word city means the people who lived in the city of Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “all the people of the city became excited”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ἐκινήθη & ἡ πόλις ὅλη
/was/_stirred & the city whole
Luke says the whole here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “the people of the city were very excited”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκινήθη & ἡ πόλις ὅλη
/was/_stirred & the city whole
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: “the people of the city were very angry”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἔξω τοῦ ἱεροῦ
outside the temple
Only priests were allowed inside the temple building, so when Luke says the temple here, he means the courtyard associated with the temple. Alternate translation: “of the temple courtyard”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκλείσθησαν αἱ θύραι
/were/_shut the doors
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. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it would have been the temple gatekeepers. Alternate translation: “the gatekeepers shut the doors”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκλείσθησαν αἱ θύραι
/were/_shut the doors
The implication is that the gatekeepers shut the doors to the temple courtyard once the mob dragged Paul outside so that the mob would not defile the temple precincts by killing Paul within them. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the gatekeepers shut the doors so that the mob would not defile the temple courtyard by killing Paul there”
