UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִ֣ישׁ

(ʼiysh)

In this context, a man means “each person” and more specifically “each worker.” As in 4:16, “young man” means servant. Alternate translation: “each worker and his servant”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠ת֣וֹךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

(bə⁠tōk yərūshālāim)

This could be referring to workers who had come from nearby cities and towns to help rebuild the wall. It could also include people who lived in the Jerusalem area but whose homes were outside the city, such as local farmers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “spend the night inside Jerusalem and not go home if they live outside the city”

וְ⁠הָֽיוּ־לָ֧⁠נוּ הַ⁠לַּ֛יְלָה מִשְׁמָ֖ר וְ⁠הַ⁠יּ֥וֹם מְלָאכָֽה

(və⁠hāyū-lā⁠nū ha⁠llaylāh mishəmār və⁠ha⁠yyōm məlāʼkāh)

The idea is not that these men would be on guard duty all night and then work all day on the wall. Rather, their presence in the city would mean that a large number of defenders would be ready on short notice if needed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “That way the city will have plenty of defenders even at night, and they can still work on the wall during the daytime”
