UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamation

הִנֵּ֥ה ה⁠סתו

see/lo/see! the,winter

The man is using the term Behold to focus attention on what he is about to say. Use an exclamation that is natural in your language for communicating this. Alternate translation: “see that the winter”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּֽי

that/for/because/then/when

Here, the word for indicates that what follows is the motivation or reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “because”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

ה⁠סתו

the,winter

In Israel winter is the time of year when it is cold and rains more heavily than during other seasons. If the seasons do not vary much in your location, you could explain this with a general expression such as “the cold season” as modeled by the UST. Alternate translation: “the cold rainy season” or “the cold wet season”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ה⁠סתו עָבָ֑ר הַ⁠גֶּ֕שֶׁם חָלַ֖ף

the,winter past the,rain over

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “the winter has gone; yes, the rain has passed”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

עָבָ֑ר

past

Your language may not say gone in contexts such as this. Alternate translation: “is finished” or “is over”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / go

הָלַ֥ךְ לֽ⁠וֹ

gone to=him/it

Your language may not say went in contexts such as this. Alternate translation: “it ended” or “it left”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

חָלַ֖ף הָלַ֥ךְ לֽ⁠וֹ

over gone to=him/it

The terms passed and went away mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “is over and gone” or “has gone away”
