UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ὑμῶν & οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὅτι βλέπουσιν, καὶ τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν ὅτι ἀκούουσιν

˱of˲_you_all & the eyes because ˱they˲_/are/_seeing and the ears ˱of˲_you_all because ˱they˲_/are/_hearing

Jesus is using eyes and ears to represent people as they see and hear. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you, for you see; and blessed are you, for you hear” or “you as you look at things, for you see; and as you listen to things, for you hear”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

βλέπουσιν & ἀκούουσιν

˱they˲_/are/_seeing & ˱they˲_/are/_hearing

Here Jesus implies that their eyes can see properly and their ears can hear properly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they see well … they hear well”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν

and the ears ˱of˲_you_all

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and blessed are your ears”
