UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

אֱלֹהֶ֜י⁠ךָ & בְ⁠יָדְ⁠ךָ֖

God,your & in/on/at/with,hand,your

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, your is singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

הִקְשָׁה֩ & אֶת־רוּח֗⁠וֹ & וְ⁠אִמֵּץ֙ אֶת־לְבָב֔⁠וֹ

hardened & DOM his/its=breath/wind/spirit & (Some words not found in UHB: and=not willing Sihon king Heshbon pass,us in/on/over=him/it that/for/because/then/when hardened YHWH God,your DOM his/its=breath/wind/spirit and,obstinate DOM heart,his in_order_to give,him in/on/at/with,hand,your as_the,day the,this )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “had hardened his spirit; indeed, he strengthened his heart”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הִקְשָׁה֩ & אֶת־רוּח֗⁠וֹ & וְ⁠אִמֵּץ֙ אֶת־לְבָב֔⁠וֹ

Here, hardened his spirit and strengthened his heart are idioms that mean “caused him to be stubborn.” If these phrases do 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: “had caused him to be stiff-necked and caused him to be as stubborn as a mule” or “had caused him to be resistant and caused him to be obstinate”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְ⁠יָדְ⁠ךָ֖

in/on/at/with,hand,your

Here, hand represents someone’s power and control. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “into your control”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כַּ⁠יּ֥וֹם הַ⁠זֶּֽה

as_the,day the,this

The implication is that the Israelites control Sihon’s land at the time when Moses is giving this speech to the Israelites. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “as you control his land this day”
