UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

אֶבְי֑וֹן

poor

Moses is using the adjective poor as a noun to mean poor people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “destitute ones”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

בָרֵ֤ךְ יְבָֽרֶכְ⁠ךָ֙ יְהוָ֔ה

to_bless bless,you YHWH

Moses is repeating the verb bless in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. 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 emphasis. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will surely bless you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

בָּ⁠אָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ נֹֽתֵן־לְ⁠ךָ֥ נַחֲלָ֖ה לְ⁠רִשְׁתָּֽ⁠הּ

on_the=earth which/who YHWH God,your giving to/for=yourself(m) inheritance to,possess,it

The expression in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance, to possess it contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “in the land that he is giving to you”
