UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

אַ֣ךְ

only

The word only indicates that the sentence it introduces makes an exception from the larger group that was mentioned before. In 10:12 it appeared that the whole group was in agreement, but now we find out that there were four men who did not agree. Use a natural way to indicate this contrast that makes it clear that there were two men who opposed the idea, then two more joined them in opposing the idea. Alternate translation: “But a few, namely,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יוֹנָתָ֧ן & וְ⁠יַחְזְיָ֥ה & עָמְד֣וּ עַל־זֹ֑את וּ⁠מְשֻׁלָּ֛ם וְ⁠שַׁבְּתַ֥י & עֲזָרֻֽ⁠ם

Yōnātān/(Jonathan) & and,Jahzeiah & stood on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in this(f) and,Meshullam and,Shabbethai & supported,them

The implication is that while these four men spoke up in the assembly against investigating who among the Israelites had married foreign wives, their protests were unsuccessful. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Jonathan … and Jahzeiah … did not want the community to investigate who had married foreign women. And Meshullam and Shabbethai … supported them, but they were not able to convince the assembly” Alternatively, you could express this idea at the beginning of verse 16.
