UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑποκριταί!

hypocrites

The implication, which Jesus draws out in the rest of this verse, is that people who could understand the weather from signs such as wind and clouds also ought to be able to understand what God was doing through Jesus from the signs surrounding his ministry. So if they did not welcome him, it was not because they did not see or understand these signs. Rather, it was because they were pretending not to see or understand them. Alternate translation: “You are pretending not to understand!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ πρόσωπον

the appearance

Jesus uses the term face to mean “appearance.” Alternate translation: “the appearance”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τὸν καιρὸν δὲ τοῦτον, πῶς οὐκ οἴδατε δοκιμάζειν?

¬the time but this how not ˱you_all˲_/have/_known /to_be/_scrutinizing

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the crowd. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “so you ought to be able to understand what is happening right now.”
