uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀκούων δὲ & τοὺς λόγους τούτους

hearing (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούων Δέ ὁ Ἁνανίας τούς λόγους τούτους πεσών ἐξέψυξεν Καί ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπί πάντας τούς ἀκούοντας)

Luke is using the term words to mean what Peter used words to say. Alternate translation: [When he heard what Peter said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

πεσὼν ἐξέψυξεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούων Δέ ὁ Ἁνανίας τούς λόγους τούτους πεσών ἐξέψυξεν Καί ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπί πάντας τούς ἀκούοντας)

The word translated as expired means that Ananias “breathed out for the last time.” It is a mild way of saying that he died. Alternate translation: [fell down and died]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / events

πεσὼν ἐξέψυξεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούων Δέ ὁ Ἁνανίας τούς λόγους τούτους πεσών ἐξέψυξεν Καί ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπί πάντας τούς ἀκούοντας)

Ananias fell down because he died. He did not die because he fell down. To make this clear in your translation, it may be helpful to say first that he died and then that he fell. Alternate translation: [died and fell to the ground]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας

became fear great (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούων Δέ ὁ Ἁνανίας τούς λόγους τούτους πεσών ἐξέψυξεν Καί ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπί πάντας τούς ἀκούοντας)

Luke describes this fear as if it were a living thing that could come onto people. Here the word fear describes a deep respect for God. Alternate translation: [everyone who heard about it came to feel a very deep respect for God]
