UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

λειτουργούντων & αὐτῶν τῷ Κυρίῳ

ministering & ˱of˲_them ˱to˲_the Lord

The expression ministering to means that the believers in Antioch were worshiping God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [while they were worshiping the Lord]

Note 2 topic: writing-politeness

τῷ Κυρίῳ

˱to˲_the Lord

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, Peter is referring to Jesus here by a respectful title. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: [of the Lord Jesus]

ἀφορίσατε

set_apart

Alternate translation: [Set apart]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

εἰς τὸ ἔργον ὃ προσκέκλημαι αὐτούς.

for the work which ˱I˲_/have/_called_to them

The Holy Spirit is referring implicitly to the work of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus in new areas, Cyprus and Asia Minor. Since Luke describes Barnabas and Paul doing this work in the rest of this chapter and in Chapter 14, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.
