UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες, Ἰσραηλεῖται

men (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Πέτρος ἀπεκρίνατο πρὸς τὸν λαόν ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται τί θαυμάζετε ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἢ ἡμῖν τί ἀτενίζετε ὡς ἰδίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ εὐσεβείᾳ πεποιηκόσιν τοῦ περιπατεῖν αὐτόν)

This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: “My fellow Israelites”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί θαυμάζετε ἐπὶ τούτῳ

why ˱you_all˲_/are/_wondering at this

Peter does not expect the crowd to tell him why they are marveling. He is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “you should not marvel at this!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἢ ἡμῖν τί ἀτενίζετε, ὡς ἰδίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ εὐσεβείᾳ πεποιηκόσιν τοῦ περιπατεῖν αὐτόν?

or ˱at˲_us why ˱you_all˲_/are/_looking_intently as_though ˱by˲_/our/_own power or devoutness /having/_made ¬which /to_be/_walking him

Peter is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Do not stare at us. We did not make him walk by our own power or godliness!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῖν & ἰδίᾳ

˱at˲_us & ˱by˲_/our/_own

By us and our own, Peter means himself and John but not also the people in the crowd. So use the exclusive forms of us and our in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἰδίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ εὐσεβείᾳ

˱by˲_/our/_own power or devoutness

Peter may be expressing a single idea by using two words connected with or. The term godliness describes what the crowd may consider the source or nature of the power that he and John have. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “by our own godly power”
