uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκέλευσε δεθῆναι ἁλύσεσι δυσί

commanded_‹him› ˓to_be˒_bound ˱with˲_chains two

These means implicitly that the commander ordered his soldiers to chain Paul to one soldier on each side of him. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [commanded him to be chained to one soldier on each side of him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐκέλευσε δεθῆναι

commanded_‹him› ˓to_be˒_bound

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: [commanded his soldiers to bind him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ἐπυνθάνετο τίς εἴη καὶ τί ἐστιν πεποιηκώς

˱he˲_˓was˒_inquiring who ˱he˲_might_be (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἐγγίσας ὁ χιλίαρχος ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ καί ἐκέλευσε δεθῆναι ἁλύσεσι δυσί καί ἐπυνθάνετο τίς εἴη καί τί ἐστίν πεποιηκώς)

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: [he was asking, “Who is this? What has he done?”]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπυνθάνετο

˱he˲_˓was˒_inquiring

Luke means implicitly that the commander was asking the people in the crowd these questions, not that he was asking them of Paul. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [he was asking the people in the crowd]
