UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

וְ⁠יָדַעְתָּ֣ & וַ⁠הֲשֵׁבֹתָ֮ & לְבָבֶ⁠ךָ֒

and,acknowledge & and,take & heart,your

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you and your are 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 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠יָדַעְתָּ֣ הַ⁠יּ֗וֹם וַ⁠הֲשֵׁבֹתָ֮ אֶל־לְבָבֶ⁠ךָ֒

and,acknowledge the=day and,take to/towards heart,your

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 you shall know today, indeed, you shall return it to your heart”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠יָדַעְתָּ֣

and,acknowledge

Here know means “think about.” Moses is speaking of thinking about something as if that were knowing it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And you shall consider”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠הֲשֵׁבֹתָ֮ אֶל־לְבָבֶ⁠ךָ֒

and,take to/towards heart,your

Here, return to your heart is an idiom that means “think about.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you shall call it to mind” or “and think about it”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

בַּ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם מִ⁠מַּ֔עַל וְ⁠עַל־הָ⁠אָ֖רֶץ מִ⁠תָּ֑חַת

in/on/at/with,heaven from,above and,on the=earth/land at,below

Here, Moses is referring to the whole universe by naming the parts that are at the extreme ends of it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “everywhere”
