UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπέβαλον ἄνδρας λέγοντας

˱they˲_instigated men saying

The word instigated means that Stephen’s opponents in some way persuaded these men to lie about what Stephen was saying. They may have offered them money, or they may have convinced them that Stephen was a dangerous person who needed to be stopped. Since Luke does not specify the means, it may be best not to suggest a means in your translation. But it would be appropriate to indicate that what these men were recruited to say about Stephen was a lie. Alternate translation: [recruited some men to lie about Stephen by saying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἀκηκόαμεν

˱we˲_/have/_heard

The men are using the word We to refer only to themselves, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

λαλοῦντος ῥήματα βλάσφημα

speaking words slanderous

The men are using the term words to mean the things that Stephen has been saying by using words. Alternate translation: [saying blasphemous things]
