uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Ἀβραὰμ & Ἰσαὰκ & Ἰακώβ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ Θεός Ἀβραάμ καί ὁ Θεός Ἰσαάκ καί ὁ Θεός Ἰακώβ ὁ Θεός τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἐδόξασεν τόν παῖδα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν ὅν ὑμεῖς μέν παρεδώκατε καί ἠρνήσασθε κατά πρόσωπον Πιλάτου κρίναντος ἐκείνου ἀπολύειν)

These are the names of three men.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν

˱of˲_the fathers ˱of˲_us

Peter is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” Alternate translation: [of our ancestors]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν

˱of˲_the fathers ˱of˲_us

The term fathers could mean: (1) in a generic sense that includes both men and women, the ancestors of the Israelites. If you decide to retain this metaphor in your translation, you could state “fathers and mothers” to indicate this. (2) Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In that case, Peter would be repeating the meaning of the previous phrase, and the term would have a masculine meaning. Alternate translation: [of the patriarchs]

τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ, Ἰησοῦν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ Θεός Ἀβραάμ καί ὁ Θεός Ἰσαάκ καί ὁ Θεός Ἰακώβ ὁ Θεός τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἐδόξασεν τόν παῖδα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν ὅν ὑμεῖς μέν παρεδώκατε καί ἠρνήσασθε κατά πρόσωπον Πιλάτου κρίναντος ἐκείνου ἀπολύειν)

See the discussion of the term Servant in the introduction to this chapter. Alternate translation: [Jesus his Messiah]

παρεδώκατε

gave_over

Alternate translation: [handed over for trial]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κατὰ πρόσωπον Πειλάτου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ Θεός Ἀβραάμ καί ὁ Θεός Ἰσαάκ καί ὁ Θεός Ἰακώβ ὁ Θεός τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἐδόξασεν τόν παῖδα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν ὅν ὑμεῖς μέν παρεδώκατε καί ἠρνήσασθε κατά πρόσωπον Πιλάτου κρίναντος ἐκείνου ἀπολύειν)

Here the phrase before the face of means “in the presence of.” Alternate translation: [in the presence of Pilate]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

κρίναντος ἐκείνου ἀπολύειν

˓having˒_judged that_‹one› ˓to_be˒_sending_away_‹him›

Peter is using the demonstrative adjective that as a noun to refer to a certain person, Pilate. (ULT adds one to indicate that.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could indicate specifically whom Peter means. Alternate translation: [when Pilate had decided to release him]
