UTN uW Translation Notes:

These were women who helped a woman give birth to a baby. See how you translated this in Exodus 1:15.

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וַ⁠יִּ֧רֶב הָ⁠עָ֛ם וַ⁠יַּֽעַצְמ֖וּ מְאֹֽד

and,multiplied the,people and,numerous very

This sentence gives background information about the events at the time. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וַ⁠יִּ֧רֶב & וַ⁠יַּֽעַצְמ֖וּ מְאֹֽד

and,multiplied & and,numerous very

These words mean similar things and are used together to emphasize their numeric growth. If your language doesn’t have as many words that mean the same thing, you can use fewer words and express the emphasis in another way.

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יֵּ֥יטֶב אֱלֹהִ֖ים לַֽ⁠מְיַלְּדֹ֑ת

and,dealt_well ʼₑlhīmv to_the,midwives

This phrase is more logically connected to the statements in verse 21. It describes the result of the midwives fearing God with a general statement. If it would be more natural in your language, you could rearrange verses 20–21 so that the reason (verses 21) comes before both the general and specific results.
