UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

בֵּ⁠הּ־זִמְנָ⁠א֩

in/on/at/with,him time,that

The phrase at that time indicates that this event took place at the same time as the event that the story has just related. If it would be helpful in your language, you could show this relationship in this case by using a phrase such as “when they did this”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

תַּ֠תְּנַי

Tattenai

Tattenai is the name of a man.

Note 3 topic: translate-names

עֲבַֽר־נַהֲרָ֛⁠ה

province_beyond river,the

Beyond-the-River is the name of the province of the Persian Empire that included Judah and Jerusalem. See how you translated it in 4:10.

Note 4 topic: translate-names

וּ⁠שְׁתַ֥ר בּוֹזְנַ֖י

and, בּוֹזְנַי

Shethar-Bozenai is the name of a man.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠כְנָוָתְ⁠ה֑וֹן

As often in the book, the term companions here indicates people who hold similar positions. Alternate translation: “and their associates”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / go

אֲתָ֨א

came

Use the motion verb that is most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “went” or “traveled”

מַן־שָׂ֨ם לְ⁠כֹ֜ם טְעֵ֗ם

who gave to,you_all decree

See how you translated this word for decree in 4:19 and 4:21. Alternate translation: “Who gave you permission” or “Who authorized you”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

בַּיְתָ֤⁠א דְנָה֙ לִ⁠בְּנֵ֔א וְ⁠אֻשַּׁרְנָ֥⁠א דְנָ֖ה לְ⁠שַׁכְלָלָֽה

temple,the this(ms) to,rebuild and,structure,the this(ms) to,finish

These two phrases mean essentially the same thing. As noted in 4:12, complete is another way of saying build when the terms are paired like this. The officials say essentially the same thing twice for emphasis. If that would be confusing for your readers, you could say it once and provide emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “to build a large temple such as this”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בַּיְתָ֤⁠א דְנָה֙

temple,the this(ms)

“this temple”
