UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε?

thus also you_all unintelligent are

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the disciples for how they still do not understand what he is saying. 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 can tell that you also are without understanding.” or “I am amazed that you also do not understand!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐ νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ ἔξωθεν εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον, οὐ δύναται αὐτὸν κοινῶσαι & ὅτι οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν, ἀλλ’ εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν, καὶ εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται?

not ˱you_all˲_/are/_understanding that everything the_‹part› outside entering_in into the person not /is/_able him /to/_defile (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε οὐ νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ ἔξωθεν εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον οὐ δύναται αὐτὸν κοινῶσαι)

Jesus is using the question form to remind his disciples about what happens to the food that people eat. 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: “You should already understand that everything that enters into the man from outside is not able to defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into the stomach, and passes out into the latrine (making all foods clean).” or “You already know that everything that enters into the man from outside is not able to defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into the stomach, and passes out into the latrine (making all foods clean)!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πᾶν τὸ ἔξωθεν εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον

everything the_‹part› outside entering_in into the person

Here Jesus is referring to food and drink, which are outside a person and enter into the man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you expressed the similar words in 7:15. Alternate translation: “all food and drink, entering into him,” or “everything outside the man, being eaten by him,”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τὸν ἄνθρωπον & αὐτὸν

the person & him

Although the terms man and him are masculine, Jesus is using the words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “the person … him or her”
