UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠הֲסִרֹתִי֙ אֶת־כַּפִּ֔⁠י וְ⁠רָאִ֖יתָ אֶת־אֲחֹרָ֑⁠י וּ⁠פָנַ֖⁠י לֹ֥א יֵרָאֽוּ

and,remove DOM hand,my and,see DOM back,my and,face,my not seen

The strong personification image of Yahweh continues throughout this verse and should be retained, if possible. You may have to use similes if this would be misunderstood in your culture. Alternate translation: “Then it will be as if I stop covering you with a hand, and you will see a small part of my glory, like a person’s back, but not my full glory, like a person’s face.”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וּ⁠פָנַ֖⁠י

and,face,my

Here, but my face is moved to the front of the clause to emphasize contrast with my back. If your language has a certain way of contrasting elements, be sure to make a strong contrast between Yahweh’s face and back.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠פָנַ֖⁠י לֹ֥א יֵרָאֽוּ

and,face,my not seen

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: “but you will not see my face”
