UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יְהִ֧י אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶת הַ⁠נַּ֖עַר

and=he/it_was ʼₑlhīmv DOM the,boy

This clause means that God guided, helped, protected, and blessed Ishmael, that is, he took care of him. Consider whether or not your language has an idiom that fits well here. Also consider again how you translated “boy/youth” in verses 12, 17-20. Alternate translation: “God was with the boy and blessed him,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וַ⁠יִּגְדָּ֑ל וַ⁠יֵּ֨שֶׁב֙

and,grew and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived

For some languages it may be clearer or more natural to change the order of the clauses in this verse and say, “As the boy/youth grew up/older, God was with him and helped/blessed him.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “as he grew up”

וַ⁠יֵּ֨שֶׁב֙ בַּ⁠מִּדְבָּ֔ר

and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived in/on/at/with,wilderness

For some languages it is more natural to specify here in verse 20 that the name of the wilderness is Paran, rather than wait until verse 21, so that it is clear that both verses refer to the same wilderness. See how you translated the wilderness in verse 14. Alternate translation: “And he lived in the desert of Paran” or “He lived in the Paran Wilderness”

וַ⁠יְהִ֖י רֹבֶ֥ה קַשָּֽׁת

and=he/it_was expert bow

Alternate translation: “and became a skilled bowhunter”
