UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠שָׂבֵ֤י

and,elders

Here the word And indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the result of what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “As a result … the leaders”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וְ⁠שָׂבֵ֤י יְהוּדָיֵ⁠א֙ בָּנַ֣יִן וּ⁠מַצְלְחִ֔ין

and,elders jews,the building and,prospered

The phrase building and prospering expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word building tells what the elders prospered or succeeded in. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “And the Jewish leaders were rebuilding the temple successfully”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בִּ⁠נְבוּאַת֙ חַגַּ֣י נביא⁠ה וּ⁠זְכַרְיָ֖ה בַּר־עִדּ֑וֹא

in/on/at/with,prophesying Ḩaggay prophet,the and,Zechariah son Iddo

As in 5:1, the implication is that these two men, as God’s messengers, encouraged the Jewish leaders to persevere in the project of rebuilding the temple. Alternate translation: “thanks to the encouragement that Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo gave them in messages from God”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

חַגַּ֣י

Ḩaggay

Haggai is the name of a man. See how you translated it in 5:1.

Note 5 topic: translate-names

וּ⁠זְכַרְיָ֖ה בַּר־עִדּ֑וֹא

and,Zechariah son Iddo

Zechariah is the name of a man, and Iddo is the name of his father. See how you translated their names in 5:1.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וּ⁠בְנ֣וֹ וְ⁠שַׁכְלִ֗לוּ

and,building and,finished

As in 5:11, the words built and completed connected with and express a single idea. In this section of the book, when the two words are used together, “completed” is another way of saying “built.” (Review the note about this at 4:12 if that would be helpful.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with a single word. Alternate translation: “And they were able to construct the temple”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠בְנ֣וֹ וְ⁠שַׁכְלִ֗לוּ

and,building and,finished

The implication is that what the Jewish leaders built and completed, that is, constructed, was the temple. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “And they were able to construct the temple”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִן־טַ֨עַם֙ אֱלָ֣הּ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

from/more_than command god_of Yisrael

Here the book speaks of the messages that God had sent through the prophets Haggai and Zechariah as a decree or command that God had issued to the Jewish leaders to rebuild the temple, much like the decrees that the Persian kings had issued. If it would be helpful in your language, you could describe these messages plainly. Alternate translation: “just as the God of Israel had commanded them to do through the prophets”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠מִ⁠טְּעֵם֙ כּ֣וֹרֶשׁ וְ⁠דָרְיָ֔וֶשׁ וְ⁠אַרְתַּחְשַׁ֖שְׂתְּא מֶ֥לֶךְ פָּרָֽס

and,by,decree Ⱪōresh and,Darius and,Artaxerxes king Fāraş

Here, the book assumes some knowledge on the part of readers, because by this point in time, only King Cyrus (1:2–4) and King Darius (6:6–12) had issued decrees for the Jerusalem temple to be rebuilt. Artaxerxes was the grandson of Darius, and he would not become king for another 50 years. Moreover, while the book anticipated the reign of Artaxerxes in 4:7–23, there it recounted how he ordered the temple rebuilding to stop. But the book is assuming that readers will know that Artaxerxes eventually did reverse himself and issue a decree for the maintenance of the Jerusalem temple. The book describes this in 7:12–26. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “and just as King Cyrus and King Darius of Persia had decreed they should do. King Artaxerxes of Persia also later decreed that they should finish the temple”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

כּ֣וֹרֶשׁ וְ⁠דָרְיָ֔וֶשׁ וְ⁠אַרְתַּחְשַׁ֖שְׂתְּא מֶ֥לֶךְ פָּרָֽס

Ⱪōresh and,Darius and,Artaxerxes king Fāraş

Here the book repeats some background information to remind readers who these men were. The phrase the king of Persia applies to each of them. Alternate translation: “King Cyrus and King Darius of Persia and King Artaxerxes of Persia”

Note 11 topic: translate-names

כּ֣וֹרֶשׁ וְ⁠דָרְיָ֔וֶשׁ וְ⁠אַרְתַּחְשַׁ֖שְׂתְּא

These are the names of men. See how you translated them in 1:1, 4:5, and 4:7.
