UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ

Gallio is speaking as if what follows was a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if the speaker knows that it is certain or true, then you can translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “since”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

λόγου

/a/_word

By word, Gallio likely means speech, expressed in words, as opposed to action. He is saying that what Paul has been saying is not a matter of great importance if he has not actually committed any crime. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “teaching”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὀνομάτων

names

By names, Gallio likely means the question of whether Jesus can be called the Messiah. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. UST models one way to do that.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ὄψεσθε αὐτοί

˱you_all˲_/will_be/_seeing_‹to_it› yourselves

Gallio is using a future statement to give an command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural form for giving a command. Alternate translation: “you must see yourselves”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὄψεσθε αὐτοί

˱you_all˲_/will_be/_seeing_‹to_it› yourselves

By see, Gallio means investigate the matter and resolve it. Your language may have a similar idiom that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “you must see to it yourselves” or “you must look into it yourselves”
