Here the word "them" refers to Paul, Silas, and John Mark, and "he" refers to Elymas.

# Elymas "the magician"

This was Bar Jesus, who was also called "the magician" ([verse 6](./06.md)) (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. Alternate translation: "attempted to persuade the governor not to believe the gospel message" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
