UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

δὲ

and

Paul is using the word translated Now to introduce a new phase of his defense. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that would be natural for this purpose.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

παρεγενόμην

˱I˲_arrived

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: “went”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς τὸ ἔθνος μου

to the nation ˱of˲_me

Paul is actually referring to the place where the people of the Jewish nation live. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the place where my Jewish people live”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐλεημοσύνας ποιήσων & καὶ προσφοράς

alms /going_to/_make & and offerings

By alms Paul means gifts for the poor that the Gentile churches had collected and that he was delivering. By offerings he means the sacrifices that he and four other men offered at the end of a period of vows. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “to bring gifts for the poor and to offer sacrifices at the end of a vow period”
