UTN uW Translation Notes:
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
ἐκραύγασαν & πάλιν λέγοντες
˱they˲_cried_out & again saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “they cried out again and said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
μὴ τοῦτον, ἀλλὰ τὸν Βαραββᾶν
not this_‹one› but ¬the Barabbas
The Jewish leaders are leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous verse. Alternate translation: “Do not release this one, but release Barabbas”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦτον
this_‹one›
Here the Jewish leaders say this one as a disrespectful way to refer to Jesus without saying his name. If your language has a similar way to refer to someone in an indirect but derogatory manner, you may use it here. Alternate translation: “this so-and-so”
Note 4 topic: writing-background
ἦν δὲ ὁ Βαραββᾶς λῃστής
was and ¬the Barabbas /a/_robber
In this sentence John provides background information about Barabbas. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.
λῃστής
/a/_robber
The word usually translated robber can also refer to an insurrectionist, as is indicated by the description of Barabbas in Mark 15:7. Alternate translation: “an insurrectionist”
