UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ἔπεσεν & πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξέψυξεν

˱she˲_fell & before the feet ˱of˲_him and stopped_breathing

The word translated expired means that Sapphira “breathed out for the last time.” It is a mild way of saying that she died. Alternate translation: [she fell down at his feet and died]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / events

ἔπεσεν & πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξέψυξεν

˱she˲_fell & before the feet ˱of˲_him and stopped_breathing

Sapphira fell down because she died. She did not die because she fell down. To make this clear in your translation, it may be helpful to say first that she died and then that she fell. Alternate translation: [she died and fell down at his feet]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἔπεσεν & πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ

˱she˲_fell & before the feet ˱of˲_him

This means that she fell to the ground in front of Peter. This expression should not be confused with the idea of “falling down at a person’s feet,” that is, bowing down to the ground in front of someone as a sign of humility. Alternate translation: [she collapsed onto the ground in front of him]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ νεανίσκοι

the young_men

See how you translated this expression in [5:6](../05/06.md). However, it may not be necessary to explain again here who these young men were in terms of their role in the community. Instead, you could identify them by their role in the story. Alternate translation: [the same young men who had buried Ananias]
