UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις

and in ¬the days these

Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. The phrase refers to the period of time after Jesus ascended, when the disciples were meeting in the upper chamber. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις

in ¬the days these

Luke is using the term days to refer to a specific time. Alternate translation: “during that time”

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

ἀναστὰς

/having/_stood_up

Peter stood up to indicate that he had something important to say. Alternate translation: “having stood up to show that he had something important to say”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν ἀδελφῶν

˱of˲_the brothers

Luke is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. Alternate translation: “his fellow believers”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῶν ἀδελφῶν

˱of˲_the brothers

Although the term brothers is masculine, Luke is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. As the General Introduction to Acts suggests, here and throughout the book, if you retain this figurative usage in your translation, you could state “brothers and sisters” to indicate that it has this generic sense.

Note 6 topic: writing-background

ἦν τε ὄχλος ὀνομάτων ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ὡς ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι

was and /the/_crowd ˱of˲_names with the same (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις ἀναστὰς Πέτρος ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν εἶπεν ἦν τε ὄχλος ὀνομάτων ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ὡσεὶ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι)

Luke provides this background information to help readers appreciate what happens shortly afterwards in the story, when the church grows in one day to many times this size. It may be helpful to put this background information first in the verse as a separate sentence, in which case it would not have to be in parentheses. Alternate translation: “Now the number of people in that one place was about 120.”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὄχλος ὀνομάτων

/the/_crowd ˱of˲_names

Luke is using the term names to mean “people,” by association with the way that people have names. Alternate translation: “the number of people”

ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ

with the same

See the discussion of this phrase in Part 3 of the Introduction to Acts. Alternate translation: “in that one place” or “in their Christian fellowship”
