UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory

δὲ

but

Luke uses the word But to introduce information about what happened after this much of the story as a result of the events within the story itself. This is not the end of the whole story, but it is the end of a significant part of it. Your language may have its own way of indicating how such information relates to a significant part of a story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον

the word

Luke is using the term word to mean the message about Jesus that Peter and John shared by using words. Alternate translation: [the message about Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀριθμὸς τῶν ἀνδρῶν

number ˱of˲_the men

Luke is not using the word men in a generic sense here. The figure of 5,000 is the number of the men alone. It does not include women and children. So it would not be accurate to translate men as “people.” Instead, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this distinction explicitly. Alternate translation: [the number of the men alone, not counting the women and children,]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγενήθη & ὡς χιλιάδες πέντε

/was/_become & about thousands five

The word translated became could mean: (1) the community of believers in Jesus grew to a total of 5,000 as a result of the professions of faith on this day. Alternate translation: [in the community of believers grew to about 5,000] (2) “was,” and that would indicate that 5,000 men made professions of faith on this day. Alternate translation: [who put their faith in Jesus that day was about 5,000]
