UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι

the Jews

Here, the Jews refers to the Jewish leaders. See how you translated this term in 1:19.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μήτι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτὸν

surely_not ˱he˲_/will_be/_killing_off himself

John records the Jewish leaders using the form of a question in a way that expects a negative response but also expresses uncertainty about that response. If your language has a question form that assumes a negative response with uncertainty, you should use it here. Alternate translation: “Could it be possible that he will kill himself?”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ὅτι λέγει, ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς, οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν

that ˱he˲_/is/_saying where I /am/_going you_all not /are/_being_able /to/_come

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “Is that why he says that where he goes, we will not be able to come”

ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς, οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν

where I /am/_going you_all not /are/_being_able /to/_come

See how you translated this clause in the previous verse.
