UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

λέγει

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [He said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πρὸς τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν

for the hard_heart ˱of˲_you_all

The phrase your hardness of heart refers to obstinacy or unwillingness to listen and obey. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Because you are hardheaded] or [Because you are so stubborn]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς

from ˓the˒_beginning

The phrase from the beginning refers to when God created everything that exists. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. See how you translated this phrase in [19:4](../19/04.md). Alternate translation: [at the beginning of the world] or [at the beginning of creation]
