UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

ὑμεῖς & εἰρήκατε

you_all & ˱you_all˲_/have/_spoken

Even though it was only Peter who spoke to Simon, in his response, Simon is addressing both Peter and John, since he offered money to both of them, as 8:18 describes. Since Simon is speaking to two men, You and you would be dual if your language uses that form. Otherwise it would be plural.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

δεήθητε ὑμεῖς ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ πρὸς τὸν Κύριον

/be/_besought you_all for me to the Lord

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please pray to the Lord for me] or [I ask you to pray to the Lord for me]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

δεήθητε ὑμεῖς ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ πρὸς τὸν Κύριον

/be/_besought you_all for me to the Lord

Simon is stating the pronoun You, whose meaning is already present in the verb pray, for emphasis. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: [Pray to the Lord for me yourselves]

ὅπως μηδὲν ἐπέλθῃ ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ὧν εἰρήκατε

so_that nothing /may/_come_over on me ˱of˲_which ˱you_all˲_/have/_spoken

Alternate translation: [so that the things you have said may not happen to me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μηδὲν ἐπέλθῃ ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ὧν εἰρήκατε

nothing /may/_come_over on me ˱of˲_which ˱you_all˲_/have/_spoken

Simon is referring implicitly to Peter’s rebuke, in which Peter spoke of Simon’s silver perishing along with him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [I will not perish as you said]
