UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

בְּ⁠רָן־יַ֭חַד כּ֣וֹכְבֵי בֹ֑קֶר וַ֝⁠יָּרִ֗יעוּ כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים

in/on/at/with,sang together stars morning and,shouted_for_joy all/each/any/every sons_of ʼₑlhīmv

It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. The phrase the stars of the morning could be describing: (1) the stars at the time of their original creation. In that case, Yahweh would be speaking of the stars as if they were living things that had sung a joyful song to celebrate the glory and beauty of the creation, including that of the earth. You could retain the image in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “When I made the earth, it was in beautiful harmony with the stars” (2) the angels, in parallel with the phrase the sons of God in the second half of the verse. Alternate translation: “When I made the earth, the angels sang a song of celebration”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ֝⁠יָּרִ֗יעוּ כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים

and,shouted_for_joy all/each/any/every sons_of ʼₑlhīmv

As in 1:6 and 2:1, the expression sons of God describes angelic beings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and all the angels shouted” or, if you translated the stars of the morning as “the angels” in the first half of the verse: “yes, all the angels shouted”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ֝⁠יָּרִ֗יעוּ

and,shouted_for_joy

The term translated shouted implicitly means to shout for joy. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and … shouted for joy” or “and … shouted joyfully”
