UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

ἰδοὺ, ἄνθρωπος χεῖρα ἔχων ξηράν

behold /a/_man /a/_hand having withered

Matthew is using the phrase behold, a man to introduce this man with a withered hand as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [a certain man was in the synagogue, and he had a withered hand]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

χεῖρα ἔχων ξηράν

/a/_hand having withered

This means that the man’s hand was damaged in such a way that he could not stretch it out. It was probably bent almost into a fist, making it look smaller. Use a word or phrase that expresses this idea clearly. Alternate translation: [having a shriveled hand] or [whose hand was atrophied]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες

˱they˲_asked him saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [they questioned him]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐπηρώτησαν & κατηγορήσωσιν

˱they˲_asked & ˱they˲_/may/_accuse

The pronoun they in both cases could refer to: (1) the Pharisees, the ones who had asked about the disciples picking grain on the Sabbath. Alternate translation: [these Pharisees questioned … they might accuse] (2) some people who were in the synagogue. Alternate translation: [some people there questioned … they might accuse]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτὸν & αὐτοῦ

him & ˱against˲_him

The pronoun him in both places refers to Jesus. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the person's name here. Alternate translation: [Jesus … Jesus]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

λέγοντες, εἰ ἔξεστι τοῖς Σάββασιν θεραπεύειν? ἵνα

saying ¬If (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος χεῖρα ἔχων ξηράν καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες εἰ ἔξεστιν τοῖς Σάββασιν θεραπεύειν ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ)

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [asking whether it was lawful to heal on the Sabbaths, in order that]

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, the phrase so that introduces the purpose for which the Pharisees ask this question. They intend to accuse Jesus based on how he answers the question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of purpose. Alternate translation: [so that, when he answered,] or [They asked this question so that]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ

˱they˲_/may/_accuse ˱against˲_him

Here Matthew implies that they would accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath commandments. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [they could accuse him of wrongdoing] or [they could accuse him of breaking the law of Moses]
