UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

תִּמְלָאֵ֣⁠מוֹ נַפְשִׁ֔⁠י

gratified,them desire,my

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “I will satisfy my desire on them”

תּוֹרִישֵׁ֖⁠מוֹ יָדִֽ⁠י

destroy,them hand,my

The meaning of this phrase is unclear. The word translated dispossess could also mean “possess” or “inherit.” What seems clear is that the Egyptians plan to use their power to prevent the Israelites from possessing good things. Whether this is a reference back to plunder earlier in the verse or to recapturing them as slaves or to taking over the Israelites’ place in the land of Goshen or to keeping them from reaching the promised land (of Yahweh’s possession, see 15:17 regarding where Yahweh will bring his people) or something else is not so clear. It could also refer to taking away their life and breath. Dispossess was chosen rather than another term because the verb is in a causative form here. Alternate translation: “my hand will possess them” or “my hand will inherit them” or “my hand will kill them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

תּוֹרִישֵׁ֖⁠מוֹ יָדִֽ⁠י

destroy,them hand,my

Here hand is used of the Egyptians’ power (that is, their military strength). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “I will dispossess them”
