UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ & ἐν ὑμῖν & δυνατοὶ

the & among you_all & powerful_‹ones›

Festus is using the adjective powerful as a noun to mean a certain group of people. In this context, powerful means having the legal power to represent the Jewish nation. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “those of you who have legal standing in this matter”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

συνκαταβάντες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ οὖν ἐν ὑμῖν φησίν δυνατοὶ συγκαταβάντες εἴ τί ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ἀνδρὶ ἄτοπον κατηγορείτωσαν αὐτοῦ)

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here Festus says come down because that was the customary way of speaking about traveling from Jerusalem, since that city is up on a mountain. Use a natural way in your language of referring to traveling to a lower elevation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

κατηγορείτωσαν αὐτοῦ

˱them˲_/let_be/_accusing ˱against˲_him

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 they accuse him” or “they should accuse him”
