UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ

before ¬the God

Luke uses this expression to mean “where God could see them.” Seeing, in turn, means attention and judgment. Alternate translation: “in God’s judgment”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πορευόμενοι ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐντολαῖς καὶ δικαιώμασιν τοῦ Κυρίου

pursuing in all the commandments and just_acts ˱of˲_the Lord

The term walking means “obeying.” Alternate translation: “obeying … everything that the Lord had commanded”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

πάσαις ταῖς ἐντολαῖς καὶ δικαιώμασιν τοῦ Κυρίου

all the commandments and just_acts ˱of˲_the Lord

The words commandments and statutes mean similar things. Luke uses the two terms together to make a comprehensive statement. You do not need to repeat both words in your translation if that might be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: “everything that the Lord had commanded”
