uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

אַל־תַּרְבּ֤וּ תְדַבְּרוּ֙ גְּבֹהָ֣ה גְבֹהָ֔ה יֵצֵ֥א עָתָ֖ק מִ⁠פִּי⁠כֶ֑ם

not more talk proudly proudly come_out arrogance from,mouth_of,your_all's

Hannah is speaking to people who are not present, particularly Peninnah, who had mocked her for being childless. She is doing this to show in a very strong way how she feels about their arrogant behavior. If your readers might not understand this kind of speech, you could translate her words as if she were speaking directly about these people. Alternate translation: [Let very haughty people stop talking so much! Let them stop saying arrogant things]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

גְּבֹהָ֣ה גְבֹהָ֔ה

proudly proudly

Hannah is using the adjective haughty as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [you haughty, haughty person]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

גְּבֹהָ֣ה גְבֹהָ֔ה

proudly proudly

Hannah is repeating the word haughty in order to intensify her expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [you very haughty person]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

יֵצֵ֥א עָתָ֖ק מִ⁠פִּי⁠כֶ֑ם

come_out arrogance from,mouth_of,your_all's

Hannah is using the adjective arrogant as a noun to mean arrogant things that people say. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [Let arrogant words go out from your mouth]

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

יֵצֵ֥א עָתָ֖ק מִ⁠פִּי⁠כֶ֑ם

come_out arrogance from,mouth_of,your_all's

Since Hannah is referring to a group of people (your is plural), it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of mouth. Alternate translation: [Let the arrogant go out from your mouths]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יֵצֵ֥א עָתָ֖ק מִ⁠פִּי⁠כֶ֑ם

come_out arrogance from,mouth_of,your_all's

Hannah is using a common expression of her culture to mean that people should stop speaking arrogantly. She does not mean that arrogant words should go out from the mouth of these people in the sense that they should speak them. She means that those words should not be in their mouths, that is, they should not speak them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Do not say any more arrogant things]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֵ֤ל דֵּעוֹת֙ יְהוָ֔ה

god_of knowledge YHWH

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of knowledge, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Yahweh is a God who knows everything]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Some words not found in UHB: not more talk proudly proudly come_out arrogance from,mouth_of,your_all's that/for/because/then/when god_of knowledge YHWH and,by weighed actions )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and he weighs people’s actions]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Some words not found in UHB: not more talk proudly proudly come_out arrogance from,mouth_of,your_all's that/for/because/then/when god_of knowledge YHWH and,by weighed actions )

Hannah is speaking as if actions were objects that could be weighed on a scale. She means that Yahweh evaluates everything that people do. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he evaluates everything that people do]
