Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὅλῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ
all the assembly
Here the word church describes the people who were part of the church. Alternate translation: [all the people of the church]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὅλῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ
all the assembly
Luke assumes that his readers will know that he is referring to the church in Jerusalem. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand this sentence. Alternate translation: [the church in Jerusalem] or [all the people of the church in Jerusalem]
Note 3 topic: translate-names
Ἰούδαν τὸν καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν
Judas (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἔδοξε τοῖς ἀποστόλοις καί τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις σύν ὅλῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐκλεξαμένους ἄνδρας ἐξ αὐτῶν πέμψαι εἰς Ἀντιοχείαν σύν τῷ Παύλῳ καί Βαρναβᾷ Ἰούδαν τόν καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν καί Σιλᾶν ἄνδρας ἡγουμένους ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς)
The words Judas and Barsabbas are the names of men. Barsabbas was another name by which Judas was known. Barsabbas is probably a patronymic, that is, an indication of who his father was. If your language and culture identify people by patronymics, it may be helpful to translate this name as “the son of Sabbas,” as UST does. See how you translated this same name for another man in [1:23](../01/23.md).
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
Ἰούδαν τὸν καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν
Judas (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἔδοξε τοῖς ἀποστόλοις καί τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις σύν ὅλῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐκλεξαμένους ἄνδρας ἐξ αὐτῶν πέμψαι εἰς Ἀντιοχείαν σύν τῷ Παύλῳ καί Βαρναβᾷ Ἰούδαν τόν καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν καί Σιλᾶν ἄνδρας ἡγουμένους ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς)
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Judas, whom people called Barsabbas]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς
˱to˲_the the the brothers
Luke is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the members of the church]
OET (OET-LV) Then it_supposed to_the ambassadors and the elders with all the assembly, having_chosen men from them, to_send them to Antioⱪeia with the Paulos and Barnabas, Youdas/(Yəhūdāh) which being_called Barsabbas and Silas, leading men among the brothers,
OET (OET-RV) So the missionaries and elders with all the assembly decided to choose some men to accompany Paul and Barnabas to Antioch, so they chose Yudas (nicknamed Barsabbas) and Silas who were leaders among the believers,
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
