UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לָ⁠כֵ֞ן

for=so/thus/hence

God is now telling Moses to deliver a message to the Israelites of what God is going to do because of everything that he said in verses 2–5. The reason-result relationship is strongly marked here, so translations should make sure to use a connector that marks verse 6–8 as a result of verses 2–5. Alternate translation: “Because of this”

לָ⁠כֵ֞ן אֱמֹ֥ר לִ⁠בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל

for=so/thus/hence say to,sons Yisrael

This is a command from Yahweh to Moses. Alternate translation: “So Yahweh told Moses to say to the Israelites”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

אֶתְ⁠כֶ֗ם & אֶתְ⁠כֶ֖ם & אֶתְ⁠כֶם֙

DOM,you_all & DOM,you_all & DOM,you_all

Here every occurrence of you refers to the Israelites. If your language uses different forms of “you” depending on the number of people addressed, use a plural form here.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מִ⁠תַּ֨חַת֙ סִבְלֹ֣ת מִצְרַ֔יִם

from=under burdens from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt))s

This refers to all the hard work the Egyptians made the Israelites do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the hard work the Egyptians force you to do”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בִּ⁠זְר֣וֹעַ נְטוּיָ֔ה

in/on/at/with,arm outstretched

Here, arm is a figurative way of referring to Yahweh’s power, influence, and capacity for action. Outstretched means that he is using that power. 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. Alternate translation: “by my great strength”

וּ⁠בִ⁠שְׁפָטִ֖ים

and,in/on/at/with,acts_of_judgment

Here, the term judgments refers to the plagues that God is about to send to harm Egypt and the Egyptians. Each plague is a response to Pharaoh’s stubbornness. Alternate translation: “and by [greatly] harming the Egyptians”
