UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness

χεὶρ Κυρίου

/the/_hand ˱of˲_/the/_Lord

In this instance, Luke seems to mean God the Father when he says the Lord. In 4:29–30, the believers pray, “Lord … stretch out your hand to heal and for signs and wonders to happen through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.” Luke seems to be describing these events as part of the answer to that prayer. Alternate translation: [the hand of God the Lord]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

χεὶρ

/the/_hand

Here, the hand represents power, since hands give people the capability to do things. Alternate translation: [the power]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἦν & μετ’ αὐτῶν

was & with them

When Luke says that God was with the men from Cyprus and Cyrene who were proclaiming the gospel, this is an idiom that means God was working through them. Alternate translation: [was working through them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον

turned_back to the Lord

Luke speaks of these Gentiles in Antioch as if they physically turned to the Lord. He means that they stopped living in one way and began to live in another way. They believed in Jesus and started to obey him. Alternate translation: [became disciples of Jesus]

Note 5 topic: writing-politeness

ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον

to the Lord

In this instance, Luke is referring to Jesus by a respectful title, as the General Notes to this chapter discuss. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: [to the Lord Jesus]
