See how you translated lawyers in 11:45. Alternate translation: “experts in the Jewish law”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἤρατε τὴν κλεῖδα τῆς γνώσεως
˱you_all˲_took_away the key ˱of˲_the knowledge
Jesus speaks about the knowledge of God’s truth as if it were in a building whose door was locked, and about proper teaching as if it were a key that could unlock that door. Alternate translation: “you prevent people from knowing God’s truth”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
τὴν κλεῖδα
the key
A key is a small metal device that opens a lock that is used to keep things like a door, a box, or a drawer closed. If your readers would not know what a key is, you could use the name of a comparable device in your culture.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσήλθατε, καὶ τοὺς εἰσερχομένους ἐκωλύσατε
yourselves not ˱you_all˲_came_in and the_‹ones› coming_in ˱you_all˲_forbade
Jesus continues the metaphor by saying that these experts in the law have not gone into the building where they could learn God’s truth, and they have not given others the key that would allow them to unlock the door and go inside to learn. Alternate translation: “you do not know God’s truth yourselves, and you are preventing others from knowing it as well”
