UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וְ⁠אַחַר֙ הַ⁠דְּבָרִ֣ים הָ⁠אֵ֔לֶּה

and=after the,things the=these

This phrase, common in Hebrew storytelling, indicates that the book will now relate events that occurred some time after the events that it had been describing. The book had been describing the time when the Jews finished rebuilding the temple, 6:15, which was the sixth year of the reign of Darius. Now it will describe events beginning during the seventh year of the reign of Artaxerxes, who was the grandson of Darius. So nearly sixty years went by between the end of chapter 6 and the beginning of chapter 7. If your language has a similar phrase that can indicate the passage of time like this, you can use that in your translation.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

אַרְתַּחְשַׁ֣סְתְּא

Artaxerxes

Artaxerxes is the name of a man. See how you translated it in 4:7.

Note 3 topic: writing-participants

עֶזְרָא֙

ˊEzrāʼ

Here the book introduces a new, important person. Use a natural way in your language to do this. Also, since the sentence that begins here extends through verse 6, it may be helpful to your readers to make this first part of verse 1 into a complete sentence and begin another sentence with the list of Ezra's ancestors, as in the UST.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֶּן־שְׂרָיָ֔ה בֶּן־עֲזַרְיָ֖ה בֶּן־חִלְקִיָּֽה

son_of Seraiah son_of ˊAzar\sup_yāh son_of Hilkiah

In general, in the list in 7:1–5, son means descendant. However, in many cases a man actually is the biological son of the next man on the list. So for your translation, you will need to decide whether to use the figurative expression son, which can also be literally true in many cases, or the plain expression “descendant,” which is true in every case, or to say “son” for actual sons and “descendant” for descendants who are not actual sons. Choosing that last option would help to show that the men on the list have been selected to make a certain number and arrangement, as explained in the chapter introduction. Alternative translations will illustrate this last option for each verse. Here, Alternate translation: “the descendant of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah”

Note 5 topic: translate-names

שְׂרָיָ֔ה & עֲזַרְיָ֖ה & חִלְקִיָּֽה

Seraiah & ˊAzar\sup_yāh & Hilkiah

These are the names of three men.
