UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

διὰ τί ἐπλήρωσεν ὁ Σατανᾶς τὴν καρδίαν σου, ψεύσασθαί σε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, καὶ νοσφίσασθαι ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς τοῦ χωρίου?

for_reason why filled ¬the Satan the heart ˱of˲_you /to/_lie ˱for˲_you ˱to˲_the Spirit ¬the Holy and /to/_embezzle from the value ˱of˲_the property

Peter is using the question form to rebuke Ananias. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “you should not have let Satan fill your heart so that you lied to the Holy Spirit and kept back from the price of the land!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

διὰ τί ἐπλήρωσεν ὁ Σατανᾶς τὴν καρδίαν σου

for_reason why filled ¬the Satan the heart ˱of˲_you

Peter is speaking of the heart of Ananias as if it were a container that Satan had filled. Alternate translation: “why have you allowed Satan to influence your heart so strongly”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν καρδίαν σου

the heart ˱of˲_you

Here, the heart represents the thoughts and motives. Alternate translation: “your thoughts and motives”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / events

ψεύσασθαί σε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, καὶ νοσφίσασθαι ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς τοῦ χωρίου

/to/_lie ˱for˲_you ˱to˲_the Spirit ¬the Holy and /to/_embezzle from the value ˱of˲_the property

Ananais first withheld some of the money, then he lied to the Holy Spirit about this by pretending he was giving all of the money. To make this clear in your translation, it may be helpful to describe the events in that order. Alternate translation: “for you to keep back from the price of the land and lie to the Holy Spirit”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ψεύσασθαί σε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον

/to/_lie ˱for˲_you ˱to˲_the Spirit ¬the Holy

Ananias did not lie literally to the Holy Spirit, but he did lie to the apostles and to all of the believers who would have learned about his gift, and the Holy Spirit was present in them. So by lying to them, he was effectively also lying to the Holy Spirit. Alternate translation: “for you to lie to the Holy Spirit, who is present in us”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ νοσφίσασθαι ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς

and /to/_embezzle from the value

The implication of what Peter says here is that Ananias claimed or pretended that he was giving the entire amount that he had received from selling his land. Alternate translation: “by pretending that you were giving us the entire amount when you had kept back some for yourself”
