UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces what the chief priests and elders did instead of putting the money in the treasury. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Instead,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

συμβούλιον & λαβόντες

counsel & /having/_taken

Here, the phrase having taken counsel indicates that the chief priests and elders were working together to figure something out. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the similar phrase in 12:14. Alternate translation: “having made plans” or “having come up with an idea”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Ἀγρὸν τοῦ Κεραμέως

the Field ˱of˲_the Potter

Here, the phrase the field of the potter could refer to: (1) what the local people called the field. Alternate translation: “a field named Field of the Potter” (2) a field that a potter owned. Alternate translation: “a field from a potter” or “a field that belonged to a potter”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ταφὴν τοῖς ξένοις

for /a/_burial_place ˱for˲_the strangers

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of burial, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “in order to bury strangers there” or “as a cemetery for strangers”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς ξένοις

˱for˲_the strangers

Here, strangers refers to people who died in Jerusalem but did not live there normally. They could have been Jews visiting from other areas or non-Jewish foreigners. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “for people from outside Jerusalem”
