UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) Where is grain and wine?

(Some words not found in UHB: to,mothers,their say where bread and,wine in/on/at/with,faint,they like_the,wounded in/on/at/with,streets (a)_city in/on/at/with,poured_out life,their to/towards bosom mothers',their )

This rhetorical question is used as a request for something to eat. The children are telling their mother that they are hungry. The phrase “grain and wine” represents food and drink. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Give us something to eat and drink.” (See also: figs-rquestion)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

(Occurrence 0) as they faint like a wounded man

(Some words not found in UHB: to,mothers,their say where bread and,wine in/on/at/with,faint,they like_the,wounded in/on/at/with,streets (a)_city in/on/at/with,poured_out life,their to/towards bosom mothers',their )

This speaks of the children fainting from hunger and thirst in the same way that a wounded man faints.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) their lives are poured out on the bosom of their mothers

(Some words not found in UHB: to,mothers,their say where bread and,wine in/on/at/with,faint,they like_the,wounded in/on/at/with,streets (a)_city in/on/at/with,poured_out life,their to/towards bosom mothers',their )

This speaks of the children dying as if their lives were a liquid that was being poured out. Alternate translation: “they slowly die in the arms of their mothers”
