UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּֽחַר־אַ֨ף יְהוָ֜ה

and=it_glowed/burned also/though YHWH

This means that Yahweh is angry. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “Yahweh became angry”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יֹּ֨אמֶר֙

and=he/it_said

Here, he refers to Yahweh. Alternate translation: “and Yahweh said”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠לֹ֨א אַהֲרֹ֤ן אָחִ֨י⁠ךָ֙ הַ⁠לֵּוִ֔י

?,not ʼAhₐron your(ms)=brother/kindred the,Levite

Yahweh uses this rhetorical question to suggest an alternative to Moses. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternative translation: “I know you have a brother, Aaron the Levite.”

Note 4 topic: translate-kinship

אָחִ֨י⁠ךָ֙

your(ms)=brother/kindred

Aaron is older than Moses. If your language uses a different term for the sibling relationship based on gender and age order, choose the appropriate one.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

דַבֵּ֥ר יְדַבֵּ֖ר

to_speak he_speaks

In Hebrew, the word speak is repeated. This means he speaks well. English cannot convey this by doubling, so the meaning of the repetition was translated in the ULT in this case. If your language can say something like “speaking speaks” to mean “speaks well,” consider it; otherwise, translate the meaning similarly to the ULT or UST.

הִנֵּה

see/lo/see!

Here, behold is used to draw attention to surprising information that follows. If your language has a term that functions in that way (“Listen!” or “Look!” or “Pay Attention!”), use it here.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / go

יֹצֵ֣א

going_out

Yahweh says Aaron is coming from Egypt to Midian to find Moses. He is probably on foot. Depending on the language, the required form of go or come may vary.

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠שָׂמַ֥ח

and,glad

Aaron will be glad because he sees Moses. Consider a conjunction or other form that expresses result, as in the UST or alternative translation: “and because he sees you, he will have joy”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠לִבּֽ⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,heart,his

Here, heart refers to inner thoughts and emotions. If the heart is not a body part your culture uses to refer to a person’s thoughts and emotions, consider using whichever organ your culture would use for this image.
