UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠הֵפִ֧יץ יְהוָ֛ה אֶתְ⁠כֶ֖ם בָּ⁠עַמִּ֑ים & יְנַהֵ֧ג יְהוָ֛ה אֶתְ⁠כֶ֖ם שָֽׁמָּ⁠ה

and,scatter YHWH DOM,you_all in/on/at/with,peoples & drive YHWH DOM,you_all ~there,to

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “And Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples … , indeed, Yahweh will drive you there”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הֵפִ֧יץ יְהוָ֛ה אֶתְ⁠כֶ֖ם

and,scatter YHWH DOM,you_all

Moses speaks as if the Israelite people were seeds that Yahweh could scatter around a field. Moses means that Yahweh will cause the Israelites to go live in many different places among many different peoples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will cause you to leave the land and live”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וְ⁠נִשְׁאַרְתֶּם֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר

and,left few_ones_of number

The implication is that the population of Israelites in each nation would be very small. If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the phrasing. Alternate translation: “and there will be few of you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יְנַהֵ֧ג יְהוָ֛ה אֶתְ⁠כֶ֖ם

drive YHWH DOM,you_all

Here Moses is speaking of the Israelites as if they were livestock that Yahweh could drive from one place to another. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will make you go”
