UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοῦτον

this_‹man›

Peter is using the demonstrative adjective this as a noun to refer to a specific person, Jesus. (ULT shows that by adding one.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could specify whom Peter means. Alternate translation: [This Jesus]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῇ, ὡρισμένῃ βουλῇ καὶ προγνώσει τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἔκδοτον

˱by˲_the /having_been/_designated counsel and foreknowledge ¬the ˱of˲_God delivered_up

The term translated given up is an adjective, not a passive verbal form, but even so you may wish to translate it with an active verbal form. Alternate translation: [whom God gave up by his determined counsel and foreknowledge]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ, ὡρισμένῃ βουλῇ καὶ προγνώσει τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱by˲_the /having_been/_designated counsel and foreknowledge ¬the ˱of˲_God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas behind the words counsel and foreknowledge, you could express the same ideas with verbs. Alternate translation: [as God had planned in a determined way for things he knew about ahead of time]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῇ, ὡρισμένῃ βουλῇ καὶ προγνώσει τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱by˲_the /having_been/_designated counsel and foreknowledge ¬the ˱of˲_God

The word determined is a passive verbal form that you could express with an active form. Alternate translation: [in a way that God had determined as he planned for things he knew about ahead of time]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἀνείλατε

˱you_all˲_killed

It was the Romans who literally killed Jesus, but Peter says that the Jewish people in the crowd killed him because their demands led to his death. Alternate translation: [you demanded to be killed]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

διὰ χειρὸς ἀνόμων

by /the/_hand ˱of˲_/the/_lawless_‹ones›

Here, hand refers to actions. Alternate translation: [through the actions of the lawless] or [by what the lawless did]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἀνόμων

˱of˲_/the/_lawless_‹ones›

Peter is using the adjective lawless as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could supply the word “people” to show this. Alternate translation: [lawless people]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀνόμων

˱of˲_/the/_lawless_‹ones›

By lawless, Peter does not mean people who disregard the law and break the law. He is describing Gentiles (that is, people who are not Jews) by association with the fact that they do not have the Jewish law. Alternate translation: [of the Gentiles]

προσπήξαντες

/having/_crucified

This is a reference to the crucifixion of Jesus. Alternate translation: [having nailed him to a cross] or [by crucifying him]
