UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ & ἐγέννησεν

˱he˲_gave ˱to˲_him & ˱he˲_bore

The first instance of the pronoun he refers to God, while the word him and the second instance of the pronoun he refer to Abraham. For clarity, in your translation you might say “God gave Abraham … Abraham fathered.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ διαθήκην περιτομῆς

˱he˲_gave ˱to˲_him /the/_covenant ˱of˲_circumcision

Stephen’s listeners would have known that this covenant required Abraham to circumcise the males of his family. Alternate translation: “he made a covenant that required Abraham to circumcise the males of his family”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

τὸν Ἰσαὰκ & τὸν Ἰακώβ

¬the Isaac & ¬the Jacob

These are the names of two men.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ Ἰσαὰκ τὸν Ἰακώβ, καὶ Ἰακὼβ τοὺς δώδεκα πατριάρχας

and and and and Isaac_‹bore› ¬the Jacob and Jacob the twelve patriarchs

Stephen is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. Alternate translation: “and Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob fathered the 12 patriarchs” or “and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the 12 patriarchs”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοὺς δώδεκα πατριάρχας

the twelve patriarchs

Stephen assumes that his listeners will know that he is using the word patriarchs to mean the sons of Jacob who became the ancestors of the tribes of Israel. Alternate translation: “12 sons who became the ancestors of the tribes of Israel”
