UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הֶ֤רֶף מִמֶּ֨⁠נִּי֙

let_~_alone from,me

When he says Leave me be, Yahweh means that Moses should not try to stop him. As God, Yahweh is everywhere, so Moses would not be able to leave the presence of Yahweh. You could include this information if it would be helpful for your readers. Alternate translation: “Do not interfere”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠אַשְׁמִידֵ֔⁠ם וְ⁠אֶמְחֶ֣ה אֶת־שְׁמָ֔⁠ם מִ⁠תַּ֖חַת הַ⁠שָּׁמָ֑יִם

and,destroy,them and,blot_out DOM their=name from=under the=heavens

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause 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 clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “and I will destroy them; indeed, I will blot out their name from under the heavens”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אֶמְחֶ֣ה אֶת־שְׁמָ֔⁠ם מִ⁠תַּ֖חַת הַ⁠שָּׁמָ֑יִם

and,blot_out DOM their=name from=under the=heavens

Yahweh speaks of destroying the Israelites as if he were blotting out a word written on paper. Yahweh means that he will blot out the memory of their name, and by extension, everything about them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and no one will know they ever existed”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אֶֽעֱשֶׂה֙ אֽוֹתְ⁠ךָ֔ לְ⁠גוֹי

and,make DOM,you to=(a)_nation

The implication is that Yahweh will cause Moses to have so many descendants that those descendants will become a nation to replace the Israelites. This nation would be “mightier and greater” than the Israelites. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and I will make a nation from you and your descendants, one that is”
