UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רָאשִׁ֖ים עַל־הָ⁠עָ֑ם

heads on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,people

Moses writes of the leaders of people as if they were the head of a body. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “leaders over the people”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַנְשֵׁי־חַ֨יִל֙

men_of able

If it would be helpful to your readers, what sort of ability they had can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: “men who were able to lead” or “men who were able to judge”

Note 3 topic: translate-numbers

שָׂרֵ֤י אֲלָפִים֙ שָׂרֵ֣י מֵא֔וֹת שָׂרֵ֥י חֲמִשִּׁ֖ים וְ⁠שָׂרֵ֥י עֲשָׂרֹֽת

commanders thousands commanders hundreds commanders fifties and,commanders tens

This could mean: (1) these numbers represent the exact amount of people in each group. Alternate translation: “leaders in charge of groups of 1,000 people, groups of 100 people, groups of 50 people, and groups of 10 people” or (2) these numbers are not exact, but represent groups of people of various sizes. Alternate translation: “leaders in charge of very small groups, small groups, large groups, and very large groups” See how you translated this in Exodus 18:21.
