UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ μου ἀπολογίᾳ

in ¬the first ˱of˲_me defense

Here the phrase first defense refers to the first time that Paul was in court and had to defend himself against accusations. Paul implies that he already had appeared in court again or that he would have to do so again in the future. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of legal proceeding, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “At the opening session of my trial” or “When I first appeared in court to answer the accusations against me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐδείς μοι παρεγένετο

no_one ˱with˲_me appeared

Here Paul means that no one went with Paul to the court to help him defend himself. They might have been able to help Paul by testifying that he had not done anything wrong, or they might have just sat in the court to show that they approved of Paul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “no one went with me to testify on my behalf” or “no one was there to help me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πάντες

all

Paul is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all the believers who were there with Paul. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “all the believers here”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ αὐτοῖς λογισθείη

not ˱to˲_them ˱it˲_/might_have/_reckoned

Here Paul means that he does not want his fellow believers to be punished for not appearing with him in court. He uses this form as a way to ask God to forgive them for forsaking him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “May they not be punished for that” or “May they not be held responsible for that”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ αὐτοῖς λογισθείη

not ˱to˲_them ˱it˲_/might_have/_reckoned

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be God. Alternate translation: “May God not count it against them”
