uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

כִּֽי־יָדִ֤ין יְהוָה֙ עַמּ֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠עַל־עֲבָדָ֖י⁠ו יִתְנֶחָ֑ם כִּ֤י יִרְאֶה֙ כִּי־אָ֣זְלַת יָ֔ד וְ⁠אֶ֖פֶס עָצ֥וּר וְ⁠עָזֽוּב

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when vindicate YHWH people_of,his and,on servants_of,his have_compassion that/for/because/then/when he/it_will_see that/for/because/then/when gone strength and,there_not bond and,[one_who_is]_freed )

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about Yahweh seeing that his people’s strength is gone before the information about him having compassion on them, and put both of these before the information about him vindicating them. Alternate translation: [For Yahweh will see that gone is their hand, and there are none, kept back or let free. And he will have compassion on his servants and will vindicate his people]

כִּֽי־יָדִ֤ין יְהוָה֙ עַמּ֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠עַל־עֲבָדָ֖י⁠ו יִתְנֶחָ֑ם כִּ֤י יִרְאֶה֙ כִּי־אָ֣זְלַת יָ֔ד וְ⁠אֶ֖פֶס עָצ֥וּר וְ⁠עָזֽוּב

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when vindicate YHWH people_of,his and,on servants_of,his have_compassion that/for/because/then/when he/it_will_see that/for/because/then/when gone strength and,there_not bond and,[one_who_is]_freed )

The word translated as For at the beginning of the verse gives the reason why in verses 34–35 Yahweh described his vengeance. The second occurrence of For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came in the first part of the verse. Use connectors in your language that make these relationships clear. Alternate translation: [Yahweh does all this to vindicate his people and he has compassion on his servants because he will see that gone is their hand, and there are none, kept back or let free]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠עַל־עֲבָדָ֖י⁠ו יִתְנֶחָ֑ם

and,on servants_of,his have_compassion

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of compassion, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and will act compassionately toward his servants]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אָ֣זְלַת יָ֔ד

gone strength

Here, hand represents power and strength. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [their strength is gone] or [their power has failed]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

וְ⁠אֶ֖פֶס עָצ֥וּר וְ⁠עָזֽוּב

and,there_not bond and,[one_who_is]_freed

Moses is referring to all of Yahweh’s people by naming two extremes, those who are kept back (confined or imprisoned) and those who are let free (at liberty). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [no one at all is left]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠אֶ֖פֶס עָצ֥וּר

and,there_not bond

Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and there are none left, kept back] or [and there are none remaining, kept back]
