τί μέλλεις ποιεῖν?
what ˱you˲_/are/_going /to_be/_doing
The centurion is using the question form to warn the commander that he should not have Paul whipped. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should not be doing this!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
τί μέλλεις ποιεῖν?
what ˱you˲_/are/_going /to_be/_doing
The centurion is speaking of the commander, one person who was involved in having Paul whipped, to mean everyone who was involved. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “We should not be doing this!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Ῥωμαῖός
/a/_Roman
As in the previous verse, here the term Roman implicitly indicates Roman citizenship. Alternate translation: “a Roman citizen”
22:25-29 Paul claimed his status as a Roman citizen at this critical time when he was about to be tortured to make him confess his supposed crime. Roman citizenship was a valuable asset, and claiming it falsely was a capital offense. Its principal benefits were the prohibition of scourging and the right to appeal to the emperor (25:11). The commander was frightened at having nearly violated Roman law (cp. 16:35-39).
