UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וּ⁠נְתָנָ֛⁠ם יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖י⁠ךָ

and,give_~_over,them YHWH God,your

The pronoun them refers to the other nations mentioned in the previous verse. If this is not clear to your readers, you could use the person's name here. Alternate translation: “And Yahweh your God will give those other nations”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠נְתָנָ֛⁠ם יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖י⁠ךָ

and,give_~_over,them YHWH God,your

Here give means “enable victory over.” Moses speaks of victory in battle as if it were a physical object one person could give to another. Alternate translation: “And Yahweh your God will give victory over them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְ⁠פָנֶ֑י⁠ךָ

to=your=face

Here, before your faces means “before the Israelites.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

וְ⁠הָמָ⁠ם֙ מְהוּמָ֣ה גְדֹלָ֔ה

and,throw_~_into,them confusion great

For emphasis, Moses is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. You could also express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “And he will confuse them very greatly”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הִשָּׁמְדָֽ⁠ם

destroyed,they

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “until you have destroyed them”
