UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וּ⁠מָֽאנַיָּ⁠א֙

and,vessels,the

Connecting Statement:

This sentence may be introducing a contrast between what Ezra and the other Jewish leaders could do with gold and silver that people contributed in the form of money and what they had to do with gold and silver that people contributed in the form of bowls and other objects that could be used in the temple. You could begin the sentence with a word such as “however” to indicate this contrast.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠מָֽאנַיָּ⁠א֙ דִּֽי־מִתְיַהֲבִ֣ין לָ֔⁠ךְ לְ⁠פָלְחָ֖ן בֵּ֣ית אֱלָהָ֑⁠ךְ הַשְׁלֵ֕ם קֳדָ֖ם אֱלָ֥הּ יְרוּשְׁלֶֽם

and,vessels,the that/who given to/for=you(fs) for,service house_of god,your deliver before god_of Yərūshālayim/(Jerusalem)

As in 1:7, vessels refers to bowls, basins, and other objects that could be used in worship in the temple. The ones that people contributed on this occasion are described in more detail in 8:26–27. The implication in what the king says here is that Ezra and the Jewish leaders are not to sell or melt down these objects and use the proceeds to pay for temple expenses. Rather, they must use these objects only for temple worship. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Do not use objects that people contribute for use in the temple of your God to pay for the temple expenses. Make sure that you deliver every one of them to Jerusalem, where they can be used in God’s presence”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you

לָ֔⁠ךְ & אֱלָהָ֑⁠ךְ

to/for=you(fs) & god,your

Here, you and your are singular, referring to Ezra.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לְ⁠פָלְחָ֖ן בֵּ֣ית אֱלָהָ֑⁠ךְ

for,service house_of god,your

The idea behind the abstract noun service can be expressed with a verb such as “use.” Alternate translation: “to use in the temple of your God”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַשְׁלֵ֕ם

deliver

The Aramaic expression translated here as deliver in full means to “make complete.” It is the same one that the Jewish leaders use in 5:16 when they say that the temple is not “finished” yet. In context it means that Ezra must be sure to deliver every single one of the contributed objects to the temple, so that the complete set that was donated will be reassembled there. (We see him doing this carefully in 8:26–27). Alternate translation: “make sure that you deliver every one of them”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

קֳדָ֖ם אֱלָ֥הּ יְרוּשְׁלֶֽם

before god_of Yərūshālayim/(Jerusalem)

Using a spatial metaphor, Artaxerxes says that Ezra must place the objects before God, meaning in God’s presence. Alternate translation: “to Jerusalem, where they can be used in God’s presence”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

קֳדָ֖ם אֱלָ֥הּ יְרוּשְׁלֶֽם

before god_of Yərūshālayim/(Jerusalem)

As in 6:18, in another spatial metaphor, Artaxerxes describes God as if he lived in the city of Jerusalem. This is a figurative reference to the way God’s presence was in the temple in Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “to Jerusalem, where they can be used in God’s presence”
