TSNTyndale Study Notes:

19:23-41 The patron deity of Ephesus was the Greek goddess Artemis. Her birthplace was believed to be Ephesus, so Ephesus was the official guardian of the temple. Twice annually, elaborate festivals were held in her honor with athletic, musical, and theatrical celebrations that included singing Great is Artemis of the Ephesians! The temple of Artemis at Ephesus was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Conversions to Christianity clearly damaged the worship of Artemis and the associated economic activity, but it became clear that Paul and his associates had committed no crime.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

θεωρεῖτε καὶ ἀκούετε

˱you_all˲_/are/_observing and /are/_hearing

Demetrius is referring to perception by naming the two major means of perception. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you perceive clearly”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μετέστησεν ἱκανὸν ὄχλον

redirected much crowd

Demetrius is speaking as if Paul had physically removed a crowd that had been patronizing the artisans in Ephesus. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “has caused a considerable crowd to stop buying our shrines”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οἱ διὰ χειρῶν γινόμενοι

the_‹ones› by /our/_hands becoming

Demetrius is using one part of the artisans, their hands, to represent all of them in the act of making idols. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “things which people make”
