from,the_furnace_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,,you(pl) he/it_had_taken YHWH and,he_brought_out ,you(pl) from,the_furnace_of of_(the),iron from,Egypt to=be to=him/it (into)_a,people_of inheritance as,day (the),this )

An furnace of iron is very hot; people use it to melt iron. Moses speaks as if the sufferings of the Israelites in Egypt were so severe that it was like being in a furnace; the Israelites were the iron inside the furnace. Alternate translation: [out of Egypt where the Egyptians severely oppressed you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ל֛⁠וֹ לְ⁠עַ֥ם נַחֲלָ֖ה

to=him/it (into)_a,people_of inheritance

Moses speaks of all the people of Israel as if they were one object, Yahweh’s inheritance. Moses means that Yahweh chose to have a special relationship with Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his chosen people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כַּ⁠יּ֥וֹם הַ⁠זֶּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,,you(pl) he/it_had_taken YHWH and,he_brought_out ,you(pl) from,the_furnace_of of_(the),iron from,Egypt to=be to=him/it (into)_a,people_of inheritance as,day (the),this )

The implication is that the Israelites still have a special relationship with Yahweh at the time when Moses is giving this speech to them. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [as you are this day as I speak to you]
