UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠כּ֥וּר הַ⁠בַּרְזֶ֖ל

of,furnace the,iron

An iron furnace is very hot; people use it to melt iron. Moses speaks as if the sufferings of the Israelites in Egypt were so severe that it was like being in an iron furnace; the Israelites were the iron inside the furnace. Alternate translation: “brought you out of the land where the Egyptians severely oppressed you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ל֛⁠וֹ לְ⁠עַ֥ם נַחֲלָ֖ה

to=him/it as,people inheritance

Moses speaks as if all the people of Israel were one object that Yahweh owns. Moses means that Yahweh chose to have a special relationship with Israel. See the chapter introduction for more information. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his chosen people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כַּ⁠יּ֥וֹם הַ⁠זֶּֽה

as_the,day the,this

The implication is that the Israelites still have a special relationship with Yahweh at the time when Moses is giving this speech to them. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “as you are this day as I speak to you”
