UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί ἄπιστον κρίνεται παρ’ ὑμῖν, εἰ ὁ Θεὸς νεκροὺς ἐγείρει?

why unbelievable ˱it˲_/is_being/_judged by you_all if ¬the God /the/_dead /is/_raising

Paul is using the question form to challenge the Jewish leaders who are accusing him. Many of them are Pharisees who believe that God does raise the dead, and yet they do not believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “By accusing me, you are acting as if you do not believe that God raises the dead!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

παρ’ ὑμῖν

by you_all

While to this point Paul has used the word you in the singular to refer to Agrippa, here he uses it in the plural to refer to the Jewish leaders who are present. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ ὁ Θεὸς νεκροὺς ἐγείρει

if ¬the God /the/_dead /is/_raising

Paul is speaking as if what he is saying is a hypothetical possibility, but he believes that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if the speaker believes that it is true, then you can translate these words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “that God raises the dead”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

νεκροὺς ἐγείρει

/the/_dead /is/_raising

Here, raises the dead is an idiom that refers to making someone who has died alive again. Alternate translation: “God makes the dead alive again”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

νεκροὺς

/the/_dead

Paul is using the adjective dead as a noun to mean people who have died. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who have died”
