uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

הֶחֱזִ֣יקוּ הַ⁠תְּקוֹעִ֑ים

repaired the,Tekoites

These phrases refer to repairing the wall. Alternate translation: [Tekoites repaired the wall]

Note 2 topic: translate-names

הַ⁠תְּקוֹעִ֑ים

the,Tekoites

Tekoa is the name of one of the cities in Judah that sent a work party to help rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The Tekoites are the people who came from this city. Alternate translation: [some people from Tekoa]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ⁠אַדִּֽירֵי⁠הֶם֙

and,their_of,nobles

Here Nehemiah is indicating a contrast between what these people should have done and what they actually did. You can use a word like “but” to indicate this. Alternate translation: [But the leading citizens of Tekoa]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹא־הֵבִ֣יאוּ צַוָּרָ֔⁠ם בַּ⁠עֲבֹדַ֖ת אֲדֹנֵי⁠הֶֽם

not put neck_of,their in,the_work_of their_master(s)_of,of

Nehemiah does not state the reason why the nobles did not do the work, but it is implied. Alternate translation: [were too proud to do the work]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לֹא־הֵבִ֣יאוּ צַוָּרָ֔⁠ם בַּ⁠עֲבֹדַ֖ת אֲדֹנֵי⁠הֶֽם

not put neck_of,their in,the_work_of their_master(s)_of,of

Here, the neck represents the entire person, and specifically the person at work. The neck is likely associated with work because in this agrarian culture, draft animals would put their necks into yokes so that they could pull plows and drag loads. Alternate translation: [were too proud to do the work]

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown

בַּ⁠עֲבֹדַ֖ת אֲדֹנֵי⁠הֶֽם

in,the_work_of their_master(s)_of,of

Lords here most likely refers to the leaders of Judah, who had asked all the surrounding cities and towns to send work parties to help rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Another possibility is that the plural form of the word “lord” actually refers to God. Alternate translation: [the work that the leaders of Judah had asked them to do] or [the service of their Lord]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בַּ⁠עֲבֹדַ֖ת

in,the_work_of

Service is an abstract noun that refers to the work of rebuilding the wall. You can translate the idea behind it with a concrete noun such as “work.”
