uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄγγελος Δέ Κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρός Φίλιππον λέγων Ἀνάστηθι καί πορεύου κατά μεσημβρίαν ἐπί τήν ὁδόν τήν καταβαίνουσαν ἀπό Ἰερουσαλήμ εἰς Γάζαν αὕτη ἐστίν ἐρῆμος)

Luke is using the word translated as Now to introduce a new event. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνάστηθι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄγγελος Δέ Κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρός Φίλιππον λέγων Ἀνάστηθι καί πορεύου κατά μεσημβρίαν ἐπί τήν ὁδόν τήν καταβαίνουσαν ἀπό Ἰερουσαλήμ εἰς Γάζαν αὕτη ἐστίν ἐρῆμος)

Here the word arise means that the angel wanted Philip to take action, not that the angel wanted him to stand up from a seated position. Alternate translation: [Pack for a journey]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν καταβαίνουσαν ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς Γάζαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄγγελος Δέ Κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρός Φίλιππον λέγων Ἀνάστηθι καί πορεύου κατά μεσημβρίαν ἐπί τήν ὁδόν τήν καταβαίνουσαν ἀπό Ἰερουσαλήμ εἰς Γάζαν αὕτη ἐστίν ἐρῆμος)

The angel speaks of the road going 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: [the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza]

Note 4 topic: writing-background

ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς Γάζαν; αὕτη ἐστὶν ἔρημος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄγγελος Δέ Κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρός Φίλιππον λέγων Ἀνάστηθι καί πορεύου κατά μεσημβρίαν ἐπί τήν ὁδόν τήν καταβαίνουσαν ἀπό Ἰερουσαλήμ εἰς Γάζαν αὕτη ἐστίν ἐρῆμος)

This sentence could be: (1) something that Luke adds to provide background information about the area through which Philip would be travelling. Alternate translation: [from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (Now that road leads through a desert]; (2) part of what the angel is saying to Philip. Alternate translation: [from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is a desert road.”]
