UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נִדְבָּכִ֞ין דִּי־אֶ֤בֶן גְּלָל֙ תְּלָתָ֔א וְ⁠נִדְבָּ֖ךְ דִּי־אָ֣ע חֲדַ֑ת

layers that/who stones great three and,layer that/who timber one

It is no longer clear exactly what these building instructions mean. They could mean that the walls of the temple should be three layers of stone thick, with a facing of wood on the inside. They could also mean that the walls should be built with one layer of wood on top of every three layers of stone, or that the temple was to have four stories, the lower three of stone and the top one of wood. Whatever the specifics, the implication is that the temple is to be rebuilt in the same way that Solomon originally built it, since 1 Kings 6:36 says that he built its inner court, at least, “with three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “and it is to be built of wood and stone just like the original one”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠נִ֨פְקְתָ֔⁠א מִן־בֵּ֥ית מַלְכָּ֖⁠א תִּתְיְהִֽב

and,cost,the from/more_than house_of Oh/the=king paid

Here, house is a metaphor for property, meaning everything that a person keeps in his house, and by extension, everything that he owns. So house in this context represents the wealth and income of the king. Alternate translation: “I will pay the expenses from the royal revenue”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠נִ֨פְקְתָ֔⁠א מִן־בֵּ֥ית מַלְכָּ֖⁠א תִּתְיְהִֽב

and,cost,the from/more_than house_of Oh/the=king paid

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who will do the action. Alternate translation: “I will pay the expenses from the royal revenue”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

וְ⁠נִ֨פְקְתָ֔⁠א מִן־בֵּ֥ית מַלְכָּ֖⁠א תִּתְיְהִֽב

and,cost,the from/more_than house_of Oh/the=king paid

Cyrus speaks of himself here in the third person. If this is not clear in your language, you can use the first person. Alternate translation: “I will pay the expenses from the royal revenue”
