UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

It is clear from the context that these were two Israelite men, though Stephen does not say that specifically. Alternate translation: [to two Israelite men]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

αὐτοῖς & αὐτοὺς & ἐστε & ἀδικεῖτε

˱to˲_them & them & ˱you_all˲_are & ˱you_all˲_/are/_injuring

Since Moses is speaking to two people, these uses of them and you would be dual if your language uses that form. Otherwise, they would be plural.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

συνήλλασσεν αὐτοὺς εἰς εἰρήνην

˱he˲_/was/_reconciling them to peace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [he urged them to stop fighting]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἰπών, ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί ἐστε. ἱνα τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους?

/having/_said men brothers ˱you_all˲_are for_reason why ˱you_all˲_/are/_injuring one_another

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [telling them that they were brothers and asking them why they were hurting each other]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες

men

This is an idiomatic form of address. Translate it with an expression that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Friends]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Moses is using the word brothers to mean “kinsmen.” Alternate translation: [kinsmen]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἱνα τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους?

for_reason why ˱you_all˲_/are/_injuring one_another

Moses is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [You should not be hurting each other!]
