Note 1 topic: writing-participants
τις ἀνὴρ & ἐκάθητο
/a/_certain man & /was/_sitting
Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new character into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἀδύνατος & τοῖς ποσὶν
powerless & ˱by˲_the feet
Luke is referring to the strength of this man’s legs by association with the way people are able to stand on their feet when their legs are strong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “whose legs could not support him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
χωλὸς ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ
lame from /the/_womb ˱of˲_/the/_mother ˱of˲_him
Luke is referring to the time of this man’s birth by association with the way he came out of the womb of his mother when he was born. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “lame from the time he was born”
