UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

יְהוָ֞ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ צַדִּ֣יק אַ֔תָּה כִּֽי־נִשְׁאַ֥רְנוּ פְלֵיטָ֖ה כְּ⁠הַ⁠יּ֣וֹם הַ⁠זֶּ֑ה

YHWH god Yisrael law-abiding/just you(ms) that/for/because/then/when left remnant as,the,day the=this

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases since the second phrase gives the reason for what the first phrase says. Alternate translation: “But you have ensured that a group of us would survive, just as we are right now, so we acknowledge that you, Yahweh, the God of Israel, are righteous”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כְּ⁠הַ⁠יּ֣וֹם הַ⁠זֶּ֑ה

as,the,day the=this

In this context, day does not refer to one specific day, but rather to a more general time. Alternate translation: “as we are now”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

הִנְ⁠נ֤וּ לְ⁠פָנֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙ בְּ⁠אַשְׁמָתֵ֔י⁠נוּ כִּ֣י אֵ֥ין לַ⁠עֲמ֛וֹד לְ⁠פָנֶ֖י⁠ךָ עַל־זֹֽאת

here,we to=your=face in/on/at/with,guilt,our that/for/because/then/when not to,stand to=your=face on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in this(f)

These two phrases mean similar things. Ezra uses the repetition for emphasis as he makes this confession of guilt on behalf of the people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “We have come into your presence to admit that we are guilty.” However, there is a slight difference in meaning, and you could also choose to bring that out in your translation. The second phrase is more intensive. Alternate translation: “We have come into your presence to admit that we are guilty, and none of us have any excuse for what we have done”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙

to=your=face

Here, face represents the presence of a person. Alternate translation: “standing in your presence”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֵ֥ין לַ⁠עֲמ֛וֹד לְ⁠פָנֶ֖י⁠ךָ

not to,stand to=your=face

To stand is a Hebrew idiom meaning to be acquitted. (For example, in Psalm 130:3, “If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?” and Psalm 1:5, “The wicked will not stand in the judgment.”) Alternate translation: “none of us can plead any grounds for acquittal” or “none of us have any excuse for what we have done”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

עַל־זֹֽאת

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in this(f)

This is the end of Ezra’s quotation of the prayer that he prayed on this occasion. If you decided in 9:6 to mark his words as a direct quotation, you should indicate that ending here with a closing primary quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the end of a quotation.
