ULT the ones having killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and having persecuted us and not being pleasing to God and being hostile to all men,

UST Now unbelieving Jews not only killed the prophets long ago, but they also recently killed the Lord Jesus and forced us to leave your city. These unbelieving Jews also persecuted the believers who live in the region of Judea. In fact, fellow believers, you have become like these groups of believers in Judea whom God has united to Jesus the Messiah. That is because people from your own country persecute you, just as the unbelieving Jews persecuted the believers in Judea. These unbelieving Jews do not please God, and they act against most people.

Note 1 topic: writing-background

τῶν καὶ τὸν Κύριον ἀποκτεινάντων Ἰησοῦν, καὶ τοὺς προφήτας, καὶ ἡμᾶς ἐκδιωξάντων; καὶ Θεῷ μὴ ἀρεσκόντων, καὶ πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις ἐναντίων

who both the Lord /having/_killed_off Jesus and their prophets and us /having/_driven_out and ˱to˲_God not bringing_pleasure but ˱to˲_all people ˱of˲_contrary

Paul provides this background information about “the Jews” to help readers understand exactly which Jews he is speaking about. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information. Alternate translation: “by which I mean the Jews who in the past killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and persecuted us and who are not pleasing God and who are hostile to all men”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / events

τῶν καὶ τὸν Κύριον ἀποκτεινάντων Ἰησοῦν, καὶ τοὺς προφήτας, καὶ ἡμᾶς ἐκδιωξάντων

who both the Lord /having/_killed_off Jesus and their prophets and us /having/_driven_out

This list of those persecuted by the people whom Paul calls “the Jews” is not chronological but emphasizes the order of importance and intensity of persecution. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the order of events clear. Alternate translation: “the ones having killed the prophets, then the Lord Jesus, and finally persecuting us”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοὺς προφήτας

their prophets

Here, the phrase the prophets refers to the prophets who are mentioned in the Old Testament. These prophets were also Jewish and spoke God’s message to his people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the Jewish prophets” or “God’s prophets”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις

˱to˲_all people

Paul says all men here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “to very many men” or “to the majority of men”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις

˱to˲_all people

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “to all men and women”
