UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

διὰ τί τοῦτο τὸ μύρον οὐκ ἐπράθη τριακοσίων δηναρίων, καὶ ἐδόθη πτωχοῖς?

for_reason why this ¬the ointment not /was/_sold ˱for˲_three_hundred denarii and /was/_given ˱to˲_/the/_poor

Judas is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize that he thought the perfumed oil should not be poured on Jesus. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation, and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “This perfume could have been sold for 300 denarii and given to the poor!”

Note 2 topic: translate-bmoney

τριακοσίων δηναρίων

˱for˲_three_hundred denarii

The word denarii is the plural form of “denarius.” It was a denomination of money in the Roman Empire that was equivalent to one days’ wages. Alternate translation: “for 300 days’ wages”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πτωχοῖς

˱to˲_/the/_poor

Judas is using the adjective poor as a noun in order to describe a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “to people who are poor”
