UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹ֣א תֵֽלְכ֔וּ⁠ן אַחֲרֵ֖י

not go, after

Here Moses is speaking of idols as if they were moving beings that one could physically go after and follow. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Do not serve”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

לֹ֣א תֵֽלְכ֔וּ⁠ן & סְבִיבוֹתֵי⁠כֶֽם

not go, & around,you_all

In this verse, you and the command form are plural. Use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֑ים מֵ⁠אֱלֹהֵי֙

ʼₑlhīmv other any_of,gods

The expression other gods, the gods of contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “other gods that are worshiped by”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מֵ⁠אֱלֹהֵי֙ הָֽ⁠עַמִּ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר סְבִיבוֹתֵי⁠כֶֽם

any_of,gods the,peoples which/who around,you_all

Here, Moses is using the possessive form to describe gods that the other peoples of the land worship. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an expression that describes the same relationship. Alternate translation: “the gods which the peoples who surround you worship”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הָֽ⁠עַמִּ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר סְבִיבוֹתֵי⁠כֶֽם

the,peoples which/who around,you_all

Here the phrase the peoples who surround you refers to the people groups that live near the land that Yahweh is about to give to the Israelites. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the neighboring peoples”
