UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִֽי־יִתֵּ֡ן וְ⁠הָיָה֩

who? he/it_gave and=it_was

Yahweh is using the question form of Who will give to express a strong desire for something. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation, ending the sentence with a period: “Oh that they would have”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְבָבָ֨⁠ם

mind,their

Here, heart refers to a person’s will or their desire to do something. In this case, the desire is to fear Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “desire”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כָּל־הַ⁠יָּמִ֑ים

all/each/any/every all/each/any/every the=days

Here, all the days is an idiom that means “always.” 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: “forever”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠לִ⁠בְנֵי⁠הֶ֖ם

and,with,children,their

Here, sons means “descendants.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and for their offspring”
