UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

βουλομένου & αὐτοῦ

wishing & ˱about˲_him

The pronoun he refers to Apollos. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “when Apollos desired”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

διελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Ἀχαΐαν

/to/_pass_through into ¬the Achaia

Luke uses the expression pass over here because Apollos had to cross the Aegean Sea to get to Achaia from Ephesus. Your language may have its own way of describing travel across a body of water. Alternate translation: “to go across the sea to Achaia”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οἱ ἀδελφοὶ

the brothers

Luke is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the believers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τοῖς πεπιστευκόσιν διὰ τῆς χάριτος

˱to˲_the ˱to˲_the_‹ones› /having/_believed through ¬the grace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “those whom God had graciously led to believe”
