UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμεῖς & ἠλπίζομεν

we & /were/_hoping

The men are speaking of themselves and likely their fellow disciples as well, but not of Jesus, so we would be exclusive here, if your language marks that form.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ μέλλων λυτροῦσθαι τὸν Ἰσραήλ

the_‹one› going /to_be/_redeeming ¬the Israel

See how you translated the similar expression in 2:38. The word redeem means literally to “buy back,” for example, to buy someone’s freedom from slavery, but the men are using it in a figurative sense here. Alternate translation: [the person who was going to bring God’s blessings and favor back to the people of Israel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

τὸν Ἰσραήλ

¬the Israel

The men are speaking of all the Israelites as if they were a single person, their ancestor, Israel. Alternate translation: [the people of Israel]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀλλά γε καὶ σὺν πᾶσιν τούτοις

but surely also with all these_‹things›

The men are speaking in an idiomatic way for emphasis. Alternate translation: [And besides all this]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τρίτην ταύτην ἡμέραν ἄγει, ἀφ’ οὗ ταῦτα ἐγένετο

third this day ˱it˲_/is/_coming from which these_‹things› became

By saying he is spending this third day, the men are referring to Jesus as if he were alive. However, they are actually saying how long he has been dead. They are going to tell how the women reported that his grave was empty, and they find it unbelievable that anyone who had been dead that long would have gotten up out of the grave. See how you translated the expression the third day in 9:22, and express this in the way that your culture reckons time. Alternate translation: [the Romans put him to death on the day before yesterday]

Note 6 topic: translate-ordinal

τρίτην ταύτην ἡμέραν ἄγει, ἀφ’ οὗ ταῦτα ἐγένετο

third this day ˱it˲_/is/_coming from which these_‹things› became

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: [this is day three since these things happened to him] or, depending on how your culture reckons time, “this is day two since these things happened to him”
