UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you

שְׁאַל & לְ⁠פָנֶ֗י⁠ךָ

ask & to=your=face

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, the word your and the command ask are 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 / metaphor

שְׁאַל

ask

Here the word ask means “think.” Moses is speaking as if asking questions about something were the same as thinking about it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “consider”

Note 3 topic: writing-politeness

נָא֩

now

The word translated as please here is a term used in polite requests. If it would be helpful for your readers, you could use an equivalent expression for making a polite request.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנֶ֗י⁠ךָ

to=your=face

Here, face represents the presence of a person and before here means "prior to." If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “before your existence”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠יּוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁר֩ בָּרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אָדָם֙ עַל־הָ⁠אָ֔רֶץ

the=day which/who he/it_created ʼₑlhīmv humankind on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land

Moses is referring to the events of Genesis 1:27 when Yahweh created human beings, male and female, in his image. This was on the sixth day of creation.

Note 6 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אָדָם֙

humankind

In this verse, the word man is singular in form, but it refers to all human beings as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: “human beings”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

וּ⁠לְ⁠מִ⁠קְצֵ֥ה הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֖יִם וְ⁠עַד־קְצֵ֣ה הַ⁠שָּׁמָ֑יִם

and,about,from,end the=heavens and=unto other the=heavens

Here, Moses is referring to all of the world by naming the parts that are at the extreme ends of it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and on all the earth”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כַּ⁠דָּבָ֤ר הַ⁠גָּדוֹל֙ הַ⁠זֶּ֔ה

like_the,thing the,great the=this

The term a great thing refers to the works that Yahweh did, which Moses mentions in the following verses. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “as great a thing as what Yahweh did”
