UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲנִ֨י אַעֲבִ֤יר כָּל־טוּבִ⁠י֙ עַל־פָּנֶ֔י⁠ךָ

I pass all/each/any/every goodness,my on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in front,you

Yahweh speaks of his goodness like it was an object that he could move over Moses. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. See the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

טוּבִ⁠י֙

goodness,my

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of goodness, you can express the same idea in another way. See the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

עַל־פָּנֶ֔י⁠ךָ & לְ⁠פָנֶ֑י⁠ךָ

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in front,you & to=your=face

Here, face means “you.” Alternate translation: “above you … before you”

וְ⁠קָרָ֧אתִֽי בְ⁠שֵׁ֛ם יְהוָ֖ה

and,proclaim in/on/at/with,name YHWH

The meaning of the phrase is unclear. It may mean that Yahweh will disclose something about his character to Moses. Alternate translation: “and I will proclaim my name, ‘Yahweh,’”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠חַנֹּתִי֙ אֶת־אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָחֹ֔ן וְ⁠רִחַמְתִּ֖י אֶת־אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲרַחֵֽם

and,gracious DOM which/who gracious and,have_compassion_on DOM which/who have_compassion

These statements use parallelism internally and between each other. They stress Yahweh’s divine prerogative to do whatever he wants. The structure also parallels Yahweh’s I AM statements in Exodus 3:14. If this form of parallelism would be misunderstood in your language, consider another form that emphasizes that Yahweh is graciously kind to exactly those and only those to whom he chooses to show kindness, and he does so without outside influence.
