UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Ἑλληνιστάς

Hellenists

Hellenists was the name for Jews in the Roman Empire who spoke the Greek language and followed Greek customs. See how you translated this name in 6:1.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ δὲ ἐπεχείρουν ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν

they but /were/_attempting /to/_kill him

The implication is that the Hellenists were not able to refute what Saul was saying about Jesus, and so they saw him as a threat and wanted to get rid of him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [and because they could not refute him, they were attempting to kill him]
