UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν?

which ˱of˲_the prophets not persecuted the fathers ˱of˲_you_all

Stephen is not asking for information. He is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Your ancestors persecuted each of the prophets!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν?

which ˱of˲_the prophets not persecuted the fathers ˱of˲_you_all

Stephen’s rhetorical question has an implicit generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language that conveys emphasis. Alternate translation: “Your ancestors kept persecuting the prophets!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοῦ Δικαίου

˱of˲_the Righteous_‹One›

Stephen is using the adjective Righteous as a noun in order to describe a specific person. ULT adds One to show this. This is a title that refers to the Christ, the Messiah. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “of the Messiah, who was righteous”

οὗ νῦν ὑμεῖς προδόται καὶ φονεῖς ἐγένεσθε

˱of˲_whom now you_all betrayers and murderers became

It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “You have now betrayed and murdered him”
