uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

καὶ ὅτε ἐξεχύννετο τὸ αἷμα Στεφάνου τοῦ μάρτυρός σου, καὶ αὐτὸς ἤμην ἐφεστὼς, καὶ συνευδοκῶν, καὶ φυλάσσων τὰ ἱμάτια τῶν ἀναιρούντων αὐτόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὅτε ἐξεχύννετο τό αἷμα Στεφάνου τοῦ μάρτυρος σοῦ καί αὐτός ἤμην ἐφεστώς καί συνευδοκῶν καί φυλάσσων τά ἱμάτια τῶν ἀναιρούντων αὐτόν)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [I told him that when the blood of Stephen his witness was spilled, I myself was also standing by and agreeing and guarding the outer garments of the ones killing him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

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. If you need to say who did the action, recall from [chapter 7](../07/01.md) that it was the enemies of Stephen. Alternate translation: [the enemies of Stephen your witness spilled his blood]

Paul is referring to Stephen’s death by association with the way his blood was spilled when his enemies killed him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the enemies of Stephen your witness killed him]
