UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the disciples say that the woman wasted the perfume. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “We say that because” or “As a matter of fact,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐδύνατο & τοῦτο πραθῆναι πολλοῦ καὶ δοθῆναι

/was/_able & this /to_be/_sold ˱for˲_much and /to_be/_given

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who would have done the action, it is clear from the context that would have been the woman. Alternate translation: “she was able to sell this for much and give”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο

this

Here, the pronoun this refers to the jar full of perfumed oil that the woman poured on Jesus’ head in 26:7. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer back to it more directly. Alternate translation: “this perfumed oil”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πολλοῦ καὶ δοθῆναι

˱for˲_much and /to_be/_given

Here the disciples imply that the perfumed could have been sold for much money, and this money is what would been given to the poor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “for much money, which could have been given”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πτωχοῖς

˱to˲_/the/_poor

The disciples are using the adjective poor as a noun to mean poor people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “to people who are poor”
