uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος Καίσαρος ἑστώς εἰμι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν Δέ ὁ Παῦλος Ἐπί τοῦ βήματος Καίσαρος ἑστώς εἰμί οὗ μέ δεῖ κρίνεσθαι Ἰουδαίους οὐδέν ἠδίκηκα ὡς καί σύ κάλλιον ἐπιγινώσκεις)

Paul is referring to Caesar’s authority to judge him by association with the judgment seat where Caesar sat when he judged cases. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am being judged by Caesar]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος Καίσαρος ἑστώς εἰμι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν Δέ ὁ Παῦλος Ἐπί τοῦ βήματος Καίσαρος ἑστώς εἰμί οὗ μέ δεῖ κρίνεσθαι Ἰουδαίους οὐδέν ἠδίκηκα ὡς καί σύ κάλλιον ἐπιγινώσκεις)

Paul is using Caesar, the leader of the Roman government, to represent that entire government. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am being judged by the Roman government]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὗ με δεῖ κρίνεσθαι

where (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν Δέ ὁ Παῦλος Ἐπί τοῦ βήματος Καίσαρος ἑστώς εἰμί οὗ μέ δεῖ κρίνεσθαι Ἰουδαίους οὐδέν ἠδίκηκα ὡς καί σύ κάλλιον ἐπιγινώσκεις)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [where it is necessary for someone to judge me] or, if you translated the previous phrase as “I am being judged by the Roman government,” [which is the authority that ought to judge me]
