UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

ἐτίθουν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων

˱they˲_/were/_laying_‹them› before the feet ˱of˲_the ambassadors

The expression laying it at the feet indicates that believers who sold possessions were putting the money they received onto the ground in front of the apostles. In this culture, that was a symbolic way of presenting it to them as a gift to be used to help others in the community. If there is a comparable symbolic action in your culture, you could use that in your translation. You could also use a general expression. Alternate translation: [they were presenting it to the apostles]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

διεδίδετο

˱it˲_/was_being/_distributed

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [the apostles were distributing it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἑκάστῳ, καθότι ἄν τις χρείαν εἶχεν

˱to˲_each as_much_as ¬wishfully anyone need /was/_having

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word need, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “need.” Alternate translation: [to every person in the amount that he needed]
