UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

διὰ τί καὶ ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν?

for_reason why also you_all /are/_breaking_from the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God because_of the tradition ˱of˲_you_all

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the Pharisees for things that they do. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should not transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition.” or “I am shocked that you transgress the commandment of God because of your traditions!”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὰ τί καὶ ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν

for_reason why also you_all /are/_breaking_from the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God because_of the tradition ˱of˲_you_all

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the last phrase gives the reason for the result that the rest of the question describes. Alternate translation: “Why, because of your tradition, do you also transgress the commandment of God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ

the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a commandment that came from God. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the commandment given by God” or “the commandment we received from God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ

the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of commandment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what God commanded us”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν

the the tradition ˱of˲_you_all

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of tradition, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what you were taught”
