UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

κατήντησεν & καὶ

˱he˲_arrived & also

Luke says he, meaning Paul, to refer both to Paul and to Silas, who was traveling with him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Paul and Silas also came down”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κατήντησεν & καὶ

˱he˲_arrived & also

Luke says that Paul came down to Derbe and Lystra because that was the customary way in this culture of describing a person arriving somewhere after traveling by sea. Paul likely travel by sea from Syria to Cilicia, and Luke is saying that he then also went to Derbe and to Lystra. Alternate translation: “he also traveled”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

κατήντησεν & καὶ

˱he˲_arrived & also

If you retain the idiom, it may be more natural in your language to say “went” rather than came. Alternate translation: “he also went down”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

behold

Luke is using the term behold to focus readers’ attention on the new character he is about to introduce. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation.

Note 5 topic: writing-participants

μαθητής τις ἦν ἐκεῖ ὀνόματι Τιμόθεος, υἱὸς γυναικὸς Ἰουδαίας πιστῆς, πατρὸς δὲ Ἕλληνος

/a/_disciple certain was there ˱by˲_/the/_name Timothy /the/_son ˱of˲_/a/_woman Jewish believing /his/_father_‹was› but ˱of˲_/a/_Greek

Luke is using the phrase a certain disciple to introduce Timothy as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “there was a disciple there named Timothy”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκεῖ

there

By there, Luke means the city of Lystra. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand the sentence. Alternate translation: “in Lystra”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γυναικὸς Ἰουδαίας πιστῆς

˱of˲_/a/_woman Jewish believing

By believing, Luke means believing in Jesus. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand the sentence. Alternate translation: “a Jewish woman who believed in Jesus”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πατρὸς δὲ Ἕλληνος

/his/_father_‹was› but ˱of˲_/a/_Greek

Luke is describing Timothy’s father in an idiomatic way. Use a way that is natural in your language to refer to a particular kind of person. Alternate translation: “but whose father was Greek”
