Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. 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

κατὰ πόλιν καὶ κώμην

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ καθεξῆς καί αὐτός διώδευεν κατά πόλιν καί κώμην κηρύσσων καί εὐαγγελιζόμενος τήν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί οἱ δώδεκα σύν αὐτῷ)

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: [around to different cities and villages]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ καθεξῆς καί αὐτός διώδευεν κατά πόλιν καί κώμην κηρύσσων καί εὐαγγελιζόμενος τήν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί οἱ δώδεκα σύν αὐτῷ)

See how you decided to translate this phrase in [4:43](../04/43.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a verb such as “rule.” Alternate translation: [how God would rule]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ δώδεκα

the twelve_‹were›

Luke is using the adjective Twelve as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [his 12 apostles] or [the 12 men whom he had appointed to be apostles]

Note 5 topic: translate-names

οἱ δώδεκα

the twelve_‹were›

Alternatively, even if your language does not ordinarily use adjectives as nouns, you may be able to do that in this case, since this is a title by which the apostles were known. Even though it is a number, if you translate it as a title, as ULT does, follow the conventions for titles in your language. For example, capitalize main words and write out numbers rather than use digits.
