Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες, Ἰσραηλεῖται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: κράζοντες Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται βοηθεῖτε Οὗτος ἐστίν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κατά τοῦ λαοῦ καί τοῦ νόμου καί τοῦ τόπου τούτου πάντας πανταχῇ διδάσκων ἔτι τέ καί Ἕλληνας εἰσήγαγεν εἰς τό ἱερόν καί κεκοίνωκεν τόν ἅγιον τόπον τοῦτον)

This is an idiomatic form of address. Use a way that is natural in your language to refer to a particular group of people. Alternate translation: [You Israelites]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντας πανταχῇ

all everywhere

The Jews from Asia are saying all and everywhere as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [people throughout the empire]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ τοῦ νόμου, καὶ τοῦ τόπου τούτου

the people the ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: κράζοντες Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται βοηθεῖτε Οὗτος ἐστίν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κατά τοῦ λαοῦ καί τοῦ νόμου καί τοῦ τόπου τούτου πάντας πανταχῇ διδάσκων ἔτι τέ καί Ἕλληνας εἰσήγαγεν εἰς τό ἱερόν καί κεκοίνωκεν τόν ἅγιον τόπον τοῦτον)

The Jews from Asia assume that their listeners will understand that they are referring to the special status of the people of Israel as God’s chosen people, the law of Moses, and the temple in Jerusalem. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the people of Israel and the law of Moses and this temple]

into (Some words not found in SR-GNT: κράζοντες Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται βοηθεῖτε Οὗτος ἐστίν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κατά τοῦ λαοῦ καί τοῦ νόμου καί τοῦ τόπου τούτου πάντας πανταχῇ διδάσκων ἔτι τέ καί Ἕλληνας εἰσήγαγεν εἰς τό ἱερόν καί κεκοίνωκεν τόν ἅγιον τόπον τοῦτον)

The Jews from Asia assume that their listeners will understand that only Jewish males were allowed in certain areas of the courtyard of the Jerusalem temple and that they are accusing Paul of bringing Greeks into those areas. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [into areas of the temple courtyard where they are not allowed to go]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ ἱερὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: κράζοντες Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται βοηθεῖτε Οὗτος ἐστίν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κατά τοῦ λαοῦ καί τοῦ νόμου καί τοῦ τόπου τούτου πάντας πανταχῇ διδάσκων ἔτι τέ καί Ἕλληνας εἰσήγαγεν εἰς τό ἱερόν καί κεκοίνωκεν τόν ἅγιον τόπον τοῦτον)

Only priests were allowed inside the temple building, so when Luke says the temple here, he means the courtyard associated with the temple. Alternate translation: [the temple courtyard]
