UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

πολλοὶ γὰρ τῶν ἐχόντων πνεύματα ἀκάθαρτα, βοῶντα φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, ἐξήρχοντο

many for ˱of˲_the_‹ones› having spirits unclean shouting ˱with˲_/a/_voice loud ˱they˲_/were/_coming_out

As Luke tells the story of this event, he changes from the people who had unclean spirits being the subject of the sentence to the unclean spirits themselves being the subject. This may be because the unclean spirits controlled people to such an extent that the spirits seemed to be the people themselves. It may be helpful to your readers to put the information about the spirits before the information about the people who had them. Alternate translation: “unclean spirits, shouting with a loud voice, were coming out of many of those who had them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν ἐχόντων

˱of˲_the_‹ones› having

Luke is using the participle having, which functions as an adjective, as a noun. ULT adds the term those to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “the people who had”

ἐχόντων πνεύματα ἀκάθαρτα

having spirits unclean

Alternate translation: “who were controlled by unclean spirits”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

βοῶντα φωνῇ μεγάλῃ

shouting ˱with˲_/a/_voice loud

This is an idiom that means that the unclean spirits raised the volume of their voices. Alternate translation: “shouting loudly”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πολλοὶ & παραλελυμένοι καὶ χωλοὶ ἐθεραπεύθησαν

many & /having_been/_paralyzed and lame /were/_healed

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, it would be appropriate to say Jesus, since the book of Acts shows that the apostles healed people in the name of Jesus, for example, in 4:10. Alternate translation: “Jesus, through the power of his name, healed many who had been paralyzed and lame”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πολλοὶ & παραλελυμένοι

many & /having_been/_paralyzed

Luke is using the participle paralyzed as an adjective. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “many who had been paralyzed”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πολλοὶ & παραλελυμένοι

many & /having_been/_paralyzed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could state this in active form. Alternate translation: “many who had paralysis”
