uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

כִּֽי־יִשְׁאָלְ⁠ךָ֥ בִנְ⁠ךָ֛ מָחָ֖ר לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר מָ֣ה הָ⁠עֵדֹ֗ת וְ⁠הַֽ⁠חֻקִּים֙ וְ⁠הַ⁠מִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֛ה יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖י⁠נוּ אֶתְ⁠כֶֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he,will_ask_you child_of,your in_the_future to=say what [are]_the,testimonies and,the,statutes and,the,judgments which/who commanded YHWH God_of,our ,you(pl) )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [When your son asks you tomorrow about the testimonies and the statues and the ordinances that Yahweh our God commanded you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בִנְ⁠ךָ֛

child_of,your

Although the term son is masculine, Moses is using the word in a generic sense that includes both sons and daughters. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [your child]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מָחָ֖ר

in_the_future

Here, tomorrow means “in the future.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [someday]

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר

to=say

Here the word saying introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this term explicitly.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מָ֣ה הָ⁠עֵדֹ֗ת וְ⁠הַֽ⁠חֻקִּים֙ וְ⁠הַ⁠מִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֛ה יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖י⁠נוּ אֶתְ⁠כֶֽם

what [are]_the,testimonies (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he,will_ask_you child_of,your in_the_future to=say what [are]_the,testimonies and,the,statutes and,the,judgments which/who commanded YHWH God_of,our ,you(pl) )

The author is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If your readers might misunderstand this, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Yahweh our God commanded you] or [What do the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Yahweh our God commanded you mean]
