OET interlinear ACTs 19:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τὰ περίεργα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἱκανοί Δέ τῶν τά περίεργα πραξάντων συνενέγκαντες τάς βίβλους κατέκαιον ἐνώπιον πάντων Καί συνεψήφισαν τάς τιμάς αὐτῶν καί εὗρον ἀργυρίου μυριάδας πέντε)

Luke is using the adjective magical as a noun to describe certain practices. ULT adds the word arts to show that. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [practices that involved magic]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰς βίβλους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἱκανοί Δέ τῶν τά περίεργα πραξάντων συνενέγκαντες τάς βίβλους κατέκαιον ἐνώπιον πάντων Καί συνεψήφισαν τάς τιμάς αὐτῶν καί εὗρον ἀργυρίου μυριάδας πέντε)

Luke assumes that his readers will understand that the word books refers to scrolls on which magical incantations and formulas were recorded. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [their scrolls of magical incantations]

Note 3 topic: translate-bmoney

ἀργυρίου μυριάδας πέντε

˱of˲_silver ten_thousand five

Each of these pieces of silver was the approximate daily wage of a common laborer. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead, you might say something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: [an amount equivalent to well over a hundred years’ wages]
