UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

רַ֚ק אִם

only if

Moses is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that Yahweh will only bless the Israelites if they obey him. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “if and only if”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

שָׁמ֣וֹעַ תִּשְׁמַ֔ע

to_obey obey

Moses is repeating the verb listen 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: “you indeed listen”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠ק֖וֹל

in/on/at/with,voice

Here, voice represents the words that Yahweh spoke, which include his commands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “to the commands of”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אָנֹכִ֥י מְצַוְּ⁠ךָ֖

I giving,you

Moses is telling the Israelites the commands from Yahweh. Yahweh is the original source of the commands. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I am commanding you on his behalf”
