UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יַּעֲמֹ֣ד

and,joined

Here, the word and indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the results of what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “So … helped”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

יֵשׁ֡וּעַ

Jeshua

Jeshua is the name of a man, but he is not the high priest mentioned in the previous verse. Rather, he is the Levite clan leader listed in 2:40 as one of the exiles who returned to Judah. See how you translated his name there.

בָּנָ֣י⁠ו וְ֠⁠אֶחָי⁠ו

sons,his and,brothers,his

The terms sons and brothers do not seem to be figurative here. Rather, they would describe the biological sons and brothers of Jeshua as men who worked closely with him in supervising the construction of the new temple. So it would be appropriate to use the usual terms in your language for these close relationships.

Note 3 topic: translate-names

קַדְמִיאֵ֨ל

Kadmiel

Kadmiel is the name of a man. He is another Levite clan leader listed in 2:40. See how you translated his name there.

וּ⁠בָנָ֤י⁠ו

and,sons,his

Here as well, the term sons does not seem to be figurative. Rather, it describes the biological sons of Kadmiel as men who helped supervise the temple construction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵֽי־יְהוּדָה֙

sons_of Yehuda

Here, sons does mean “descendants.”

Note 5 topic: translate-names

בְּנֵֽי־יְהוּדָה֙

sons_of Yehuda

Judah is the name of a man. According to 2:40, Jeshua and Kadmiel were the leaders of two Levite clans that were both descended from a man named Hodaviah. It is possible that this is an alternate spelling of that same name. Alternate translation: “who were all descendants of Hodaviah”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יַּעֲמֹ֣ד & כְּ⁠אֶחָ֔ד לְ⁠נַצֵּ֛חַ עַל־עֹשֵׂ֥ה הַ⁠מְּלָאכָ֖ה

and,joined & as,one to,took_charge on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in one_doing_of the,workers

As in 2:63, stood is a figurative way of saying that a person assumed the duties of his office. Alternate translation: “joined together to supervise the workers”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כְּ⁠אֶחָ֔ד

as,one

As one is an idiom that means these men all behaved as if they were a single person. That is, they all did the same thing; they worked unitedly towards a common goal. Alternate translation: “together”

עַל־עֹשֵׂ֥ה הַ⁠מְּלָאכָ֖ה בְּ⁠בֵ֣ית הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֑ים

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in one_doing_of the,workers in=house_of the=ʼₑlhīmv

As in 2:69 and 3:8, the work means the project of rebuilding the temple. Alternate translation: “of the workers who were rebuilding the temple”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּנֵי֙ חֵֽנָדָ֔ד בְּנֵי⁠הֶ֥ם וַ⁠אֲחֵי⁠הֶ֖ם הַ⁠לְוִיִּֽם

sons_of Henadad sons,their and,brothers,them the,Levites

The relationship of this list of names to the rest of the verse is not entirely clear. There are 2 possibilities. (1) This is a list of the people who did the actual construction work on the new temple under the supervision of Jeshua, Kadmiel, and their relatives. Alternate translation: “Those workers were the sons and grandsons of a man named Henadad and all the other Levites” (2) The people listed here helped Jeshua, Kadmiel, and their relatives supervise other people who did the construction work. Alternate translation: “The sons and grandsons of a man named Henadad and all the other Levites helped them supervise the workers”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠אֲחֵי⁠הֶ֖ם הַ⁠לְוִיִּֽם

and,brothers,them the,Levites

There are two possibilities for the referent of their here. (1) It could refer to Jeshua and Kadmiel, in which case their brothers the Levites would be a figurative way of saying “their fellow Levites,” as opposed to their biological brothers mentioned earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: “and all the other Levites who had returned from exile” (2) However, their could refer to the sons of Henadad. It would still mean “fellow Levites.” The only difference would be that it would also mean that Henadad and his sons and grandsons were also Levites themselves. Alternate translation: “and the others who were Levites as they were”

Note 10 topic: translate-names

בְּנֵי֙ חֵֽנָדָ֔ד בְּנֵי⁠הֶ֥ם

sons_of Henadad sons,their

The sons of Henadad seems to mean the actual sons of a man named Henadad. Likewise, their sons seems to mean the actual sons of those men. The book does not mention Henadad anywhere else and it does not provide any further information about him, so it would probably be best simply to state his name. Alternate translation: “the sons and grandsons of a man named Henadad”
