UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

αὐτῶν τὴν ὑπόκρισιν

˱of˲_them the hypocrisy

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hypocrisy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [that they were acting hypocritically] or [that they were being hypocritical]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί με πειράζετε?

why me ˱you_all˲_/are/_testing

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the Herodians and the Pharisees. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I know that you are testing me.] or [Stop testing me!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

πειράζετε? φέρετέ

˱you_all˲_/are/_testing /be/_bringing

Because Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees and the Herodians, the word you and the command Bring are plural.

Note 4 topic: translate-bmoney

δηνάριον

/a/_denarius

A denarius was a silver coin equivalent to about one day’s wage for a hired worker. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might state something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: [a silver coin] or [a coin worth one day’s wage]
