UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וַ⁠יֵּאָ֣סְפ֔וּ

and,gathered

Here the book leaves out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. This seems to mean “gathered together in Jerusalem for the dedication ceremony.” You could say something like that if it would be helpful to your readers.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֖י הַ⁠מְשֹׁרְרִ֑ים

sons_of the,singers

As in 3:8 and 3:31, son of here is a figurative expression that indicates that a person shares the qualities of something. In this case, the book is describing people who share the quality of being singers. (Verse 12:27 indicates that these were specifically Levites.) Alternate translation: “the Levite singers”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מִן־הַ⁠כִּכָּר֙ סְבִיב֣וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם

and=from the,circuit around Yerushalayim

This is a figurative way of referring to the towns that the singers had built for themselves all around Jerusalem, as 12:29 describes. These villages seemed to form a circle around the city. Alternate translation: “from the towns they had built around Jerusalem”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

וּ⁠מִן־חַצְרֵ֖י נְטֹפָתִֽי

and=from and=from villages Netophathites

The Netophati means the people who lived in the town of Netophath, and so their villages would be all the towns in that area where they lived. Alternate translation: “from the towns around Netophath” or “from the towns of the Netophathites”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠מִן־חַצְרֵ֖י נְטֹפָתִֽי

and=from and=from villages Netophathites

Netophath was located southeast of Jerusalem. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “from the towns around Netophath, southeast of Jerusalem.”
