UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

τις & Φαρισαῖος ὀνόματι Γαμαλιήλ

/a/_certain & Pharisee ˱by˲_/the/_name Gamaliel

Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new character into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Γαμαλιήλ

Gamaliel

Gamaliel is the name of a man.

Note 3 topic: writing-background

νομοδιδάσκαλος τίμιος παντὶ τῷ λαῷ

/a/_law_teacher honored ˱by˲_all the people

Luke provides this background information about Gamaliel to help readers understand what happens next in the story, when the council members follow Gamaliel’s advice to be patient rather than acting immediately against the apostles. In your translation, present this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture. It may be helpful to do that in a separate sentence, as UST does.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τίμιος παντὶ τῷ λαῷ

honored ˱by˲_all the people

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: “whom all the people honored”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

τίμιος παντὶ τῷ λαῷ

honored ˱by˲_all the people

The word all is a generalization for emphasis. Alternate translation: “whom the people greatly honored”

Note 6 topic: translate-symaction

ἀναστὰς

/having/_risen_up

Here, rising up means that Gamaliel stood up. He did that to indicate that he had something important to say. Alternate translation: “standing up to show that he had something important to say”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκέλευσεν ἔξω & τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ποιῆσαι

˱he˲_commanded_‹them› outside & the men /to/_make

Your language may require you to specify the object of commanded. Alternate translation: “commanded the officers to take the apostles outside”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

βραχὺ

/a/_little_‹time›

Luke is using the adjective little as a noun in order to indicate a length of time. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could supply a word such as “while” to show this. Alternate translation: “for a little while”
