UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐζήτουν & τὸν Ἰησοῦν

˱they˲_/were/_seeking & ¬the Jesus

Here, they refers to the Jewish people who had traveled to Jerusalem before the Passover celebration, as described in the previous verse. If this use of they might be confusing in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Jewish people who came to Jerusalem before the Passover celebration were looking for Jesus”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ

in the temple

The people were standing in the courtyard of the temple. See how you translated temple in 8:14.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τί δοκεῖ ὑμῖν

what ˱it˲_/is/_supposing ˱to˲_you_all

This is an idiom used to ask for someone’s opinion. If your readers would not understand this, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “What is your opinion”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν?

that by_no_means not ˱he˲_/may/_come to the feast

The people are using a rhetorical question here to emphasize that they do not think Jesus will come to the Passover festival. The speakers here were wondering if Jesus would come to the festival since the Jewish leaders wanted to kill him. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “He will certainly not come to the festival!”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν?

that by_no_means not ˱he˲_/may/_come to the feast

The people are leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous sentence. Alternate translation: “Does it seem to you that he will come to the festival?”
