UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

לֹ֥א תִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֖ה

not worship

To bow to another god means to worship it. This imagery is throughout scripture and should be retained in translation. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: “you shall not bow to worship”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כִּ֤י יְהוָה֙ קַנָּ֣א שְׁמ֔⁠וֹ אֵ֥ל קַנָּ֖א הֽוּא׃

that/for/because/then/when YHWH jealous his/its=name god jealous (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when not worship to,god next/another that/for/because/then/when YHWH jealous his/its=name god jealous he/it )

The repeated word jealous means that God is concerned to keep his honor. If his people worship other gods, he loses honor, because when his people do not honor him, other people also will not honor him. This is pictured in a metaphor of a jealous spouse who is concerned that his spouse be faithful to him. This is an important Biblical metaphor that should be kept in translation if at all possible. The UST makes this image explicit as a simile, which can be done occasionally but would probably be too long for repeated use in a translation. Alternate translation: “Yahweh jealously guards his reputation. He is a God jealous of his honor.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כִּ֤י יְהוָה֙ קַנָּ֣א שְׁמ֔⁠וֹ

that/for/because/then/when YHWH jealous his/its=name

Here, the word name represents God’s character. Alternate translation: “Yahweh is always jealous”
