# Elymas "the magician"
This was Bar-Jesus, who was also called "the magician." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
# that is how his name is translated
"that was what he was called in Greek"
# opposed them; he tried to turn
"resisted them by trying to turn" or "attempted to stop them by trying to turn"
# tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith
Here "to turn ... away from" is a metaphor for convincing someone to not do something. AT: "attempted to persuade the governor not to believe the gospel message" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
