(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_caused_to_pass sound/voice in,Judah and,Jerusalem to=all/each/any/every sons_of of,the_exile to,assemble Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) )

As in [1:1](../01/01.md), this sound is the voice of messengers who speak a message, and it represents the message that the messengers speak. Refer to whichever is natural in your language: the message, the messenger, or the messenger’s voice. Alternate translation: [They sent messengers throughout Judah and Jerusalem]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_caused_to_pass sound/voice in,Judah and,Jerusalem to=all/each/any/every sons_of of,the_exile to,assemble Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) )

As indicated in [2:1](../02/01.md) and [8:35](../08/35.md), the phrase the sons of the exile refers specifically to the group of Jewish people who returned to the land of Judah from Babylon where King Nebuchadnezzar had taken them (or their ancestors) as captives many years earlier when he conquered Jerusalem. Alternate translation: [the Jews who had returned from exile] or [the Jews who had returned to their homeland]

בְּנֵ֣י הַ⁠גּוֹלָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_caused_to_pass sound/voice in,Judah and,Jerusalem to=all/each/any/every sons_of of,the_exile to,assemble Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) )

The abstract noun exile refers to the way the Babylonians had taken the Jews as captives and transported them away from their homeland. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this term with a verb such as “return,” which would describe the present situation of some of these Jews and their descendants. Alternate translation: [the Jews who had returned to their homeland]
