UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִן־הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֛יִם הִשְׁמִֽיעֲ⁠ךָ֥ אֶת־קֹל֖⁠וֹ

from/more_than the=heavens hear,you DOM voice,his

The implication is that the voice of Yahweh came from the heavens and not from earth. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “He caused you to hear his voice that came from the heavens”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

הִשְׁמִֽיעֲ⁠ךָ֥ & לְ⁠יַסְּרֶ֑⁠ךָּ & הֶרְאֲ⁠ךָ֙ & שָׁמַ֖עְתָּ

hear,you & to,discipline,you & showed,you & you(ms)_paid_attention

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you is singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

הִשְׁמִֽיעֲ⁠ךָ֥ אֶת־קֹל֖⁠וֹ לְ⁠יַסְּרֶ֑⁠ךָּ

hear,you DOM voice,his to,discipline,you

Here, the word to marks instruct you as the goal or purpose of he caused you to hear his voice. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose. Alternate translation: “he caused you to hear his voice so that he might instruct you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠דְבָרָ֥י⁠ו שָׁמַ֖עְתָּ מִ⁠תּ֥וֹךְ הָ⁠אֵֽשׁ

and,words,his you(ms)_paid_attention from,midst the,fire

Moses is referring to the events of Exodus 19 when Yahweh spoke from Mount Sinai from a fire. The Israelite people were afraid of Yahweh and stood far away.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וּ⁠דְבָרָ֥י⁠ו שָׁמַ֖עְתָּ

and,words,his you(ms)_paid_attention

Here, Moses is using the possessive form to describe words that Yahweh spoke. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an equivalent expression to describe Yahweh’s speech. Alternate translation: “and you heard the words that Yahweh spoke”
