UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal

τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτη νὺξ

/the/_fourteenth night

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “night 14”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

διαφερομένων ἡμῶν

/being/_carried_through us

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: “as the storm was driving us about”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

τῷ Ἀδρίᾳ

the Adriatic_Sea

The word Hadria is the term that people of this culture used to describe the open Mediterranean Sea between Italy and Malta on the west and Greece and Crete on the east.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

προσάγειν τινὰ αὐτοῖς χώραν

/to_be/_coming_near /a/_certain ˱to˲_them land

Luke is speaking of this land as if it were a living thing that was approaching the sailors on the ship. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “that they were approaching some land”
