UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

וַ⁠יַּֽעֲל֣וּ

and,went_up

Here, And indicates that the event this sentence describes took place at the same time as the event 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 “At the same time … went up”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠בְּנֵֽי־יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל

from=(the)_sons Yisrael

Here, sons means descendants. Here the book envisions all of the Israelites as descendants of the patriarch Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Alternate translation: “from among the Israelites”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

וְ⁠הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֜ם

and,the,Levites

See how you translated this term in 2:40. Review the explanation in the note there if that would be helpful.

וְ⁠הַ⁠מְשֹׁרְרִ֧ים

and,the,singers

This is the same occupational group as in 2:41. Review the explanation in the note there if that would be helpful.

וְ⁠הַ⁠שֹּׁעֲרִ֛ים

and,the,gatekeepers

This is the same occupational group as in 2:42. Review the explanation in the note there if that would be helpful.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הַ⁠נְּתִינִ֖ים

and,the,temple_servants

See how you translated this term in 2:43. Review the explanation in the note there if that would be helpful. These men would not have worked in the temple themselves, but would be descendants of men who had worked in the temple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and descendants of the temple servants”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יַּֽעֲל֣וּ & אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

and,went_up & to/towards Yərūshālayim

The book says went up because these people had to travel from a river valley up into the mountains in order to return from their places of exile to Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “traveled to Jerusalem”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠יַּֽעֲל֣וּ & אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

and,went_up & to/towards Yərūshālayim

If it is more natural in your language, you can say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: “came to Jerusalem”

Note 7 topic: translate-ordinal

בִּ⁠שְׁנַת־שֶׁ֖בַע לְ⁠אַרְתַּחְשַׁ֥סְתְּא הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

in=year seven of,Artaxerxes the,king

The Hebrew uses a cardinal number here, seven, but there is not a significant difference in meaning between that and the way the Hebrew uses an ordinal number, seventh, in similar contexts elsewhere. If your language customarily uses ordinals for the numbers of years, you can do that here in your translation. Alternate translation: “in the seventh year of the reign of Artaxerxes as king of Persia”
