UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοῦτον

this_‹one›

Peter is using the demonstrative adjective this as a noun to refer to a specific person, Jesus. (ULT shows that by adding one.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could specify whom Peter means. Alternate translation: [Jesus] or [this Jesus]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ

˱by˲_the right_‹hand› ˱of˲_him

Peter is using the adjective right as a noun in order to indicate the right side. See how you translated the similar expression in [2:25](../02/25.md). Alternate translation: [to his right side]

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ

˱by˲_the right_‹hand› ˱of˲_him

God placing Jesus at his right side was a symbolic way of giving him great honor. Alternate translation: [to a place of great honor next to him]

τοῦ δοῦναι μετάνοιαν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν

¬which ˓to˒_give repentance ¬the ˱to˲_Israel and forgiveness ˱of˲_sins

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas behind the words repentance and forgiveness, you could express the same ideas with verbs. Alternate translation: [to give the people of Israel an opportunity to repent and have God forgive their sins]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Ἰσραὴλ

˱to˲_Israel

Here, Israel represents the people who belong to the nation of Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the people of Israel]
