UTN uW Translation Notes:

וְ⁠כָל־הַ⁠נִּשְׁאָ֗ר מִֽ⁠כָּל־הַ⁠מְּקֹמוֹת֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר ה֣וּא גָֽר־שָׁם֒ יְנַשְּׂא֨וּ⁠הוּ֙ אַנְשֵׁ֣י מְקֹמ֔⁠וֹ

and=all the,survivor from=all the,place which/who he/it resides there assisted,him men_of place,that

The structure of this sentence may present difficulties for translation because the long phrase at the beginning actually describes who will receive the action, rather than who will do the action. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say first who will do the action. Alternate translation: “Let the people who live in any place where Jewish survivors are in exile help them”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠כָל־הַ⁠נִּשְׁאָ֗ר

and=all the,survivor

This phrase refers to any Israelite who is a surviving member of the group that was taken into exile, or who is a descendant of someone in that group. The word remaining refers to people who are remaining or left over from a larger group. In this context, that larger group is all of the Israelites who lived in the land of Judah before the Babylonians conquered it. Alternate translation: “Any survivor of the Jews who were taken from their land”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִֽ⁠כָּל־הַ⁠מְּקֹמוֹת֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר ה֣וּא גָֽר־שָׁם֒

from=all the,place which/who he/it resides there

Sojourning means living somewhere other than in one’s native land. Here, he refers to any Jew such as is described in the previous phrase. Alternate translation: “in any of the places where a Jew may be living in exile”

אֲשֶׁ֣ר ה֣וּא גָֽר־שָׁם֒

which/who he/it resides there

Saying where and there in the same phrase like this is a characteristic Hebrew construction, but it might represent an unnecessary duplication in your language. If it would be helpful in your language, you could omit any translation of the word “there.” Alternate translation: “in which he is living”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

יְנַשְּׂא֨וּ⁠הוּ֙ אַנְשֵׁ֣י מְקֹמ֔⁠וֹ

assisted,him men_of place,that

It is likely that both women and men would have helped to gather the supplies listed in the rest of this verse to support the returning Jews. So the term men here probably includes both groups. Alternate translation: “the people of that place should help him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יְנַשְּׂא֨וּ⁠הוּ֙

assisted,him

Lift here is an idiom that means help. Alternate translation: “let … help him by providing him”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ֨⁠נְּדָבָ֔ה

the,freewill_offering

The book expects readers to know that these would be extra gifts, beyond the necessities already listed. They might include money to help rebuild the temple and vessels to be used in the temple, such as the ones listed in 1:7–11. Alternate translation: “any extra gifts that they want to give”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠בֵ֥ית הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃

for,house the=ʼElohīm which/who (Some words not found in UHB: and=all the,survivor from=all the,place which/who he/it resides there assisted,him men_of place,that in/on/at/with,silver and,in/on/at/with,gold and,in/on/at/with,goods and,in/on/at/with,livestock with the,freewill_offering for,house the=ʼElohīm which/who in/on/at/with,Jerusalem )

House means a temple. Cyrus continues to speak of this temple as if it would be a house in which God lived, since God’s presence would be there. The book repeatedly uses the expressions house, house of God, and “house of Yahweh” to mean the temple in Jerusalem. It will be helpful to your readers if you translate these expressions consistently every time. Alternate translation: “for the temple that the Jews will rebuild for God in Jerusalem”
