UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לֹא־יִקְשֶׁ֣ה בְ⁠עֵינֶ֗⁠ךָ

not hard in/on/at/with,eyes,you

Here, in your eyes is an idiom for a person's opinion or evaluation. Moses speaks as if evaluating something were physically seeing it with one's eyes. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Do not consider it a burden”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠שַׁלֵּֽחֲ⁠ךָ֙ אֹת֤⁠וֹ חָפְשִׁי֙

in/on/at/with,set,you DOM=him/it free

Here Moses is speaking of freeing a slave as if one were letting a prisoner go. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for you to liberate him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִשְׁנֶה֙ שְׂכַ֣ר שָׂכִ֔יר עֲבָֽדְ⁠ךָ֖ שֵׁ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֑ים

twice wages hired_worker (Some words not found in UHB: not hard in/on/at/with,eyes,you in/on/at/with,set,you DOM=him/it free from,with,you that/for/because/then/when twice wages hired_worker served,you six years and,bless,you YHWH God,your in/on/at/with,all which/who do )

The implication is that the amount of money that a slave would earn to pay off their debt was half the amount of money that a hired man would earn in wages. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “he has served you six years at half the rate of a hired worker”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וּ⁠בֵֽרַכְ⁠ךָ֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ

and,bless,you YHWH God,your

Moses is saying that if the Israelites obey the commands about freeing slaves without complaining, then Yahweh will bless them as a result. If the connection between this statement and the previous one is not clear, you may want to use a connecting word to show how this statement relates to what came before it. Use a natural form in your language for connecting this statement to the previous one. Alternate translation: “If you do that, Yahweh your God will bless you”
