UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐπλήσθη ἡ πόλις τῆς συγχύσεως

/was/_filled the city ¬the ˱of˲_confusion

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “confusion filled the city”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐπλήσθη ἡ πόλις τῆς συγχύσεως

/was/_filled the city ¬the ˱of˲_confusion

Luke is speaking of the city as if they was a container that confusion filled. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “there was confusion throughout the city”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπλήσθη ἡ πόλις τῆς συγχύσεως

/was/_filled the city ¬the ˱of˲_confusion

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of confusion, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “people throughout the city were confused”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

τὸ θέατρον

the theatre

The theater in Ephesus was an outdoor semi-circular area with bench seats that could hold thousands of people. It was used for public meetings and for entertainment such as plays and music. If the word “theater” would communicate the wrong idea in your language, you could use a term that would be clearer for your readers. Alternate translation, as in UST: “the stadium”

Note 5 topic: translate-names

Γάϊον & Ἀρίσταρχον

Gaius & Aristarchus

The words Gaius and Aristarchus are names of men.
