UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

φησί, Κορνήλιε, εἰσηκούσθη σου ἡ προσευχὴ καὶ αἱ ἐλεημοσύναι σου ἐμνήσθησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ φησίν Κορνήλιε εἰσηκούσθη σου ἡ προσευχὴ καὶ αἱ ἐλεημοσύναι σου ἐμνήσθησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [he told me that my prayer had been heard and that my alms had been remembered before God]

Note 2 topic: translate-tense

φησί

To call attention to a development in the story, here Cornelius uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [he said]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἰσηκούσθη σου ἡ προσευχὴ καὶ αἱ ἐλεημοσύναι σου ἐμνήσθησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

˓was˒_listened_to ˱of˲_you the prayer and the alms ˱of˲_you ˓were˒_reminded before ¬the God

If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God has heard your prayer and has remembered your alms]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐμνήσθησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

˓were˒_reminded before ¬the God

The word remembered does not imply that God had forgotten about these alms. Rather, it means that God is aware of Cornelius’s devotion and generosity and is pleased with them. See how you translated the similar expression in [10:4](../10/04.md). Alternate translation: [God is aware of your alms and is pleased with them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐνώπιον

before

Here the word before is being used. Alternate translation: [in the presence of]
