UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

וְ⁠אֶל־הַ⁠זְּקֵנִ֤ים אָמַר֙

and=near/to the,elders he/it_had_said

The structure of the Hebrew indicates but does not require that this speech by Moses happened before 24:13 (hence had said). The ULT takes this view, however, for languages where it is hard to express events out of order, the UST reflects the other grammatical possibility and says in 24:13 that Moses started up the mountain and in 24:15 that he went the rest of the way up the mountain. Following this, you can view this verse as if Moses paused and gave these final instructions as he was leaving the elders behind, thus keeping a sequential structure. Either approach is permissible by the text, but the approach of the ULT is preferred, if possible.

לָ֣⁠נוּ

to/for=us

Alternate translation: “Joshua and me”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

וְ⁠חוּר֙

and,Hur

Hur is a man’s name. See how you translated this name in Exodus 17:10.

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֨ה

and=see/lo/see!

Behold is used to draw attention to important information that Moses is about to tell them. It is frequently omitted. If your language uses a statement to draw attention to important information, you should consider using it here. Alternate translation: “Remember”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִי־בַ֥עַל דְּבָרִ֖ים

who? has dispute

This is an idiom that means that someone has a legal dispute or complaint. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “Whoever has a legal claim” or “Anyone with a law case”
