UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ὦ πλήρης παντὸς δόλου καὶ πάσης ῥᾳδιουργίας

O full ˱of˲_all deceit and all fraud

Paul is using the adjective full as a noun to identify Elymas as a person who is full of the negative qualities he describes. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “O you who are full of all deceit and all trickery”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὦ πλήρης παντὸς δόλου καὶ πάσης ῥᾳδιουργίας

O full ˱of˲_all deceit and all fraud

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas of deceit and trickery, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “O you who are always deceiving and tricking other people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὦ πλήρης παντὸς δόλου καὶ πάσης ῥᾳδιουργίας

O full ˱of˲_all deceit and all fraud

Paul is speaking of Elymas as if he were a container that was full of negative qualities. Alternate translation: “O you who practice all deceit and all trickery”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

παντὸς δόλου καὶ πάσης ῥᾳδιουργίας

˱of˲_all deceit and all fraud

The terms deceit and wickedness mean similar things. Paul may be using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “of all evil treachery”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

παντὸς δόλου καὶ πάσης ῥᾳδιουργίας

˱of˲_all deceit and all fraud

Paul says all in these two instances as a generalization for emphasis. (But when he calls Elymas the enemy of all righteousness, that may be understood more literally.) Alternate translation: “of great deceit and great trickery”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

υἱὲ διαβόλου

son ˱of˲_/the/_devil

The expression son of describes a person who shares the qualities of something or someone else. Paul is saying that Elymas is acting like the devil in trying to keep Sergius Paulus from believing in Jesus. Alternate translation: “you who are acting like the devil”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

υἱὲ διαβόλου

son ˱of˲_/the/_devil

Paul is drawing an implicit contrast between Elymas’ claim to be the “son of Jesus” (Bar Jesus) and his actual character as a son of the devil. If you retain the “son of” idiom in your translation, you could bring out this contrast explicitly. If you do, it may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “You are not the son of Jesus—you are the son of the devil!”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐχθρὲ πάσης δικαιοσύνης

enemy ˱of˲_all righteousness

Paul is speaking of righteousness as if it were a person who could have an enemy. If your language would not use this figure of speech, you could express the meaning in another way. Alternate translation: “opposed to all righteousness”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐχθρὲ πάσης δικαιοσύνης

enemy ˱of˲_all righteousness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “enemy of everything that is right” or “opposed to everything that is right”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐ παύσῃ διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς τοῦ Κυρίου τὰς εὐθείας?

not ˱you˲_/will_be/_ceasing perverting the ways ˱of˲_the Lord ¬the straight

Paul is using the question form to rebuke Elymas for opposing God. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “you must stop turning aside the straight paths of the Lord!”

Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς τοῦ Κυρίου τὰς εὐθείας

perverting the ways ˱of˲_the Lord ¬the straight

Paul is speaking of Elymas as if he were physically redirecting paths that God wanted people to follow so that these paths no longer went straight. He means that if people believe in God and obey him, they live in the right way, and that Elymas is trying to keep people, especially Sergius Paulus, from doing that. Alternate translation: “preventing people from believing in God, obeying him, and living right”
