OET interlinear ACTs 24:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

λοιμὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εὑρόντες Γάρ τόν ἄνδρα τοῦτον λοιμόν καί κινοῦντα στάσεις πᾶσι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις τοῖς κατά τήν οἰκουμένην πρωτοστάτην τέ τῆς τῶν Ναζωραίων αἱρέσεως)

Tertullus is speaking as if Paul was literally spreading disease. He means that Paul is causing trouble. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a troublemaker]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶσι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις τοῖς κατὰ τὴν οἰκουμένην

˱to˲_all the Jews ¬which (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εὑρόντες Γάρ τόν ἄνδρα τοῦτον λοιμόν καί κινοῦντα στάσεις πᾶσι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις τοῖς κατά τήν οἰκουμένην πρωτοστάτην τέ τῆς τῶν Ναζωραίων αἱρέσεως)

Tertullus says this as overstatements for emphasis. Since Luke is quoting directly from his speech, it would be appropriate to retain this overstatement in your translation.

Note 3 topic: translate-names

τῶν Ναζωραίων

˱of˲_the Nazarenes

In this context, the word Nazarenes is a name that people used at this time to describe believers in Jesus. Jesus himself was known as a Nazarene because he came from the town of Nazareth. See how you translated the same word in [2:22](../02/22.md), where it has that meaning.
