uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὃν εὗρον ἐνκαλούμενον περὶ ζητημάτων τοῦ νόμου αὐτῶν; μηδὲν δὲ ἄξιον θανάτου ἢ δεσμῶν ἔχοντα ἔγκλημα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅν εὗρον ἐγκαλούμενον περί ζητημάτων τοῦ νόμου αὐτῶν μηδέν δέ ἄξιον θανάτου ἤ δεσμῶν ἔχοντα ἔγκλημα)

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. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [I found that the Jews were accusing him about questions of their law, but they were not accusing him of anything worthy of death or chains]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

The commander is using the word death to mean a penalty of death. He is referring to imprisonment by association with the way that the Romans used chains to secure prisoners. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [execution or imprisonment] or [of being put to death or being put in prison]
