UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναστὰς & Πέτρος συνῆλθεν αὐτοῖς

/having/_risen_up & Peter came_together ˱with˲_them

Here the word arising means that Peter took action in order to be able to make the trip with these men, not that he got up from a sitting or lying position. Alternate translation: [Peter quickly prepared and went with them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

αὐτοῖς

˱with˲_them

This first instance of them in the verse would be dual if your language uses that form, since it applies to two men. The second instance of them would be plural, since it refers to the group of widows.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶσαι αἱ χῆραι

all the widows

Luke says all as a generalization for emphasis. Alternate translation: [a large crowd of widows]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

χιτῶνας καὶ ἱμάτια, ὅσα ἐποίει μετ’ αὐτῶν οὖσα ἡ Δορκάς

/the/_tunics and clothes as_much_as /was/_making with them being ¬the Dorcas

It may be helpful to say explicitly that Dorcas made these coats and garments to help these widows because they were poor and could not afford clothes. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [coats and garments. When she was alive, Dorcas used to make many of these to help the widows because they were poor and could not afford clothes]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

μετ’ αὐτῶν οὖσα

with them being

This may be a delicate way of speaking about Dorcas’s death, rather than saying “before she died.” Alternate translation, as in UST: “while she was still alive”
