UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ προσελθὼν, εἷς γραμματεὺς

and /having/_approached one scribe

Here Matthew implies that Jesus and the disciples have not yet gotten into a boat to cross over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. He says that they get into the boat in 8:23. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit here. Alternate translation: [And before they departed to the other side, a scribe approached and]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ

˱I˲_/will_be/_following ˱after˲_you wherever ¬if ˱you˲_/may_be/_going_away

Here, the clause I will follow you indicates that the scribe wishes to travel with Jesus and be his disciple. The phrase wherever you go indicates that he wishes to be Jesus’ disciple no matter what Jesus does or where he goes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will become your faithful disciple] or [I will travel with you as your student wherever you go]
