UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

וְ⁠הָיָ֣ה

and=it_was

Here, And it will be indicates that what follows is a hypothetical condition. Yahweh will only bless the Israelites if they obey his commandments. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “And should it happen” or "And should it come to pass"

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

אֱלֹהֶ֜י⁠ךָ לְ⁠ךָ֗ & לַ⁠אֲבֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

God,your to/for=yourself(m) & to,ancestors,your

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

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וּ⁠שְׁמַרְתֶּ֥ם וַ⁠עֲשִׂיתֶ֖ם

and,keep and,do

The two words keeping and doing express a single idea. The word keeping describes how the act of doing takes place. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: “and faithfully doing”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠אֶת־הַ⁠חֶ֔סֶד

and=DOM the,loyalty

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faithfulness, you can express the same idea with “faithfully” or “faithful.” Alternate translation: “with loyalty”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לַ⁠אֲבֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

to,ancestors,your

Moses is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to your predecessors”
