uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

οἵτινες καταβάντες, προσηύξαντο περὶ αὐτῶν

who ˓having˒_come_down ˱they˲_prayed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἵτινες καταβάντες προσηύξαντο περί αὐτῶν ὅπως λάβωσιν Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον)

The pronoun who stands for Peter and John, and the pronoun them stands for the Samaritans. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [When Peter and John had come down, they prayed for the Samaritans]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

οἵτινες

who

Since the pronoun who stands for two men, it should be in the dual if your language uses that form.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

καταβάντες

˓having˒_come_down

Luke speaks of Philip having come down from Jerusalem because that was the customary way of speaking about traveling from Jerusalem, since that city is up on a mountain. Alternate translation: [having traveled from Jerusalem]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

καταβάντες

˓having˒_come_down

Your language may say “gone” rather than come in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: [having gone down]
