UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

περιπεσόντες & εἰς

/having/_fallen_among & into

The expression having fallen into is a nautical term that in this context describes a ship striking land. If your language does not have a comparable nautical term, you could state the meaning plainly in your translation. Alternate translation: [striking]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τόπον διθάλασσον

/a/_place two_sea

The expression a place between two seas is a nautical term that describes a sandbar that extends out from the land. A sandbar forms when a sea current coming from one direction flows across a sea current coming from another direction. This causes the sand under the water to pile up, making the water shallow and dangerous for ships. If your language does not have a comparable nautical term, you could state the meaning plainly in your translation. Alternate translation: [a sandbar extending out from the land]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἡ δὲ πρύμνα ἐλύετο ὑπὸ τῆς βίας

the the on_the_other_hand stern /was_being/_destroyed by the force

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: [but the violence was breaking up the stern]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπὸ τῆς βίας

by the force

Luke assumes that his readers will understand that he is referring to the violence of the waves that were hitting the stern of the ship. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [by the violence of the waves]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὑπὸ τῆς βίας

by the force

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of violence, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [because the waves that were hitting it were so strong]
