UTN uW Translation Notes:

בְּ⁠אָשְׁרִ֕⁠י

in/on/at/with,happy,I

Although many translations have “happy” in this verse instead of “blessed,” the Hebrew noun (and the verb it is based on) is more general and has to do with a person’s blessed state (which results in joy and happiness). The same Hebrew word is used in Psalm 1:1, and the equivalent Greek word is used in Luke 1:48 and Matthew 5:3-11. Alternate translation: “I am truly blessed!” or “God has greatly blessed me!”

כִּ֥י אִשְּׁר֖וּ⁠נִי בָּנ֑וֹת

that/for/because/then/when call_~_happy,me women

Alternate translation: “Now other women will say that I am blessed by God.” or “Now other women will say that God has blessed me.”

וַ⁠תִּקְרָ֥א אֶת שְׁמ֖⁠וֹ

and=she/it_called/named DOM his/its=name

Alternate translation: “So she named him” or “So she gave him the name”
