UTN uW Translation Notes:
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
and
Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that happened. It is not clear how soon the priests picked up the pieces of silver after Judas threw them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next action, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Sometime after that,”
Note 2 topic: translate-bmoney
τὰ ἀργύρια
the silver_coins
See how you referred to these pieces of silver in 27:3. Alternate translation: “the coins made out of silver” or “the money”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
οὐκ ἔξεστιν βαλεῖν αὐτὰ εἰς τὸν κορβανᾶν, ἐπεὶ τιμὴ αἵματός ἐστιν
not ˱it˲_/is/_permitting /to/_put them into the temple_treasury because /the/_price ˱of˲_blood ˱it˲_is
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “Because it is the price of blood, it is not lawful to put them into the treasury”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
τὸν κορβανᾶν
the temple_treasury
Here, the word treasury refers to the place in the temple where the money that people gave to help maintain the temple and the sacrifices was kept. If your readers would not be familiar with a treasury for a temple, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “the place where we keep the money designated for the temple” or “the storage area with the rest of the temple money”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τιμὴ αἵματός
/the/_price ˱of˲_blood
The chief priests are using the possessive form to describe a price that is paid for blood. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “the price that was paid for blood”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
αἵματός
˱of˲_blood
Here, blood refers to the death of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the idea in 27:4. Alternate translation: “of a person’s death” or “of a man dying”
