UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς νομικοῖς οὐαί

also ˱to˲_you_all the lawyers woe

The implication is that Jesus did intend to condemn the actions of the experts in the law along with the actions of the Pharisees. Alternate translation: [God is just as displeased with you experts in the law]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

τοῖς νομικοῖς

the lawyers

See how you translated lawyers in 11:45. Alternate translation: [experts in the Jewish law]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

φορτίζετε τοὺς ἀνθρώπους φορτία δυσβάστακτα

˱you_all˲_/are/_burdening the people ˱with˲_burdens unbearable

Jesus is describing the many rules that these experts give people as burdens that are too heavy to carry. Alternate translation: [you give people more rules than they can possibly follow]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοὺς ἀνθρώπους

the people

Here Jesus is using the term men in a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: [people]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

αὐτοὶ ἑνὶ τῶν δακτύλων ὑμῶν οὐ προσψαύετε τοῖς φορτίοις

yourselves ˱with˲_one ˱of˲_the fingers ˱of˲_you_all not ˱you_all˲_/are/_touching ˱upon˲_the burdens

Jesus uses the least possible thing someone could do to help someone else carry a burden, lifting part of it with a single finger, to emphasize how little these experts are actually doing to help people follow the law of Moses. Alternate translation: [you are not doing anything at all to help people truly obey the law]
