uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅ καί ἐποίησαν ἀποστείλαντες πρός τούς πρεσβυτέρους διά χειρός Βαρναβᾶ καί Σαύλου)

Luke assumes that his readers will know that he is referring to the elders who were the leaders of the church in Jerusalem. Alternate translation: [to the elders in Jerusalem]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

διὰ χειρὸς Βαρναβᾶ καὶ Σαύλου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅ καί ἐποίησαν ἀποστείλαντες πρός τούς πρεσβυτέρους διά χειρός Βαρναβᾶ καί Σαύλου)

Here, the hand, one part of a person, represents the action of the whole person. Alternate translation: [by having Barnabas and Saul take it to them]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

διὰ χειρὸς Βαρναβᾶ καὶ Σαύλου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅ καί ἐποίησαν ἀποστείλαντες πρός τούς πρεσβυτέρους διά χειρός Βαρναβᾶ καί Σαύλου)

If you retain the figurative word hand in your translation, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of that word, if you would not ordinarily speak of two people having one hand. Alternate translation: [by the hands of Barnabas and Saul]
