UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

πτοηθέντες & καὶ ἔμφοβοι γενόμενοι, ἐδόκουν πνεῦμα θεωρεῖν

/having_been/_terrified & and frightened /having/_become ˱they˲_/were/_supposing /a/_spirit /to_be/_observing

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “they thought they were seeing a spirit, and so they were frightened and became terrified”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πτοηθέντες & καὶ ἔμφοβοι γενόμενοι, ἐδόκουν

/having_been/_terrified & and frightened /having/_become ˱they˲_/were/_supposing

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of the passive verbal form being frightened with an active form. Alternate translation: “they were afraid and became terrified, because they thought”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

πτοηθέντες & καὶ ἔμφοβοι γενόμενοι

/having_been/_terrified & and frightened /having/_become

These expressions mean similar things. Luke may be using repetition for emphasis. Alternate translation: “becoming very frightened”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐδόκουν πνεῦμα θεωρεῖν

˱they˲_/were/_supposing /a/_spirit /to_be/_observing

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly why they thought this. Alternate translation: “they thought that they were seeing a ghost, because they did not yet understand truly that Jesus was alive again”

πνεῦμα

/a/_spirit

In this context, the term spirit refers to the spirit of a dead person. Alternate translation: “a ghost”
