Note 1 topic: writing-background
μὲν οὖν
indeed therefore
Luke is using this expression to introduce further background information that he provides in this verse and the next one about how Judas died and about what people called the field where he died. This is not part of Peter’s speech. You may want to indicate that by putting these verses in parentheses or by using the equivalent convention in your language.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
οὗτος
this_‹man›
Luke is using the demonstrative adjective this as a noun to refer to a specific person, Judas. (ULT shows that by adding one.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could state “he” or use the name “Judas.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας
out_of /the/_reward ¬the ˱of˲_unrighteousness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word unrighteousness, you could express the same idea with an adjective such as “unrighteous.” Alternate translation: “with the money that he received for doing an unrighteous deed”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας
out_of /the/_reward ¬the ˱of˲_unrighteousness
Luke is using the term unrighteousness to describe Judas betraying Jesus, by association with the way that was an unrighteous thing to do. Alternate translation: “with the money that he received for betraying Jesus”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πρηνὴς γενόμενος
headlong /having/_become
Be sure that it is clear in your translation that Judas did not fall down accidentally. Rather, he threw himself onto the field intentionally in order to kill himself. The implications are that he must have done this from a height. Alternate translation: “because he then threw himself down from a height onto that field”
πρηνὴς γενόμενος
headlong /having/_become
The word headfirst describes someone falling forward, as opposed to falling backwards. Alternate translation: “having fallen forward”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐξεχύθη πάντα τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ
/was/_poured_out all the intestines ˱of˲_him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: “all his inward parts poured out”
1:13-26 While the apostles waited for the promised gift of the Holy Spirit (1:4-5), the whole company of 120 disciples in Jerusalem engaged in earnest prayer (1:13-14) and then appointed an apostle to replace Judas Iscariot (1:15-26).
OET (OET-LV) (Therefore indeed this man acquired a_field out_of the_reward of_ the _unrighteousness, and having_become headlong, he_burst_open in_the_middle, and all the intestines of_him was_poured_out.
OET (OET-RV) (Yudas had bought a field with the money he had received for his treachery, and when he had fallen down in that field, his stomach had burst open and his intestines had slid out on the ground.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
