UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

וּ⁠כְ⁠כַלּ֣וֹת אֵ֗לֶּה

and,after,done these

This phrase indicates that the events the story will now relate came right after the events it has just described. In your translation, you can use the expression in your language that would best indicate this relationship.

Note 2 topic: writing-newevent

וּ⁠כְ⁠כַלּ֣וֹת

and,after,done

The word now introduces a new event in the story. If your language has a word or expression for introducing a new event, use that here.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠שָּׂרִים֙

the,officials

These appear to be the same leaders as in 8:29, that is, clan leaders. But this is not a reference to all of them, since the ones who come to Ezra say that some of their fellow leaders have married foreign women. Alternate translation: “some of the clan leaders”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

נִגְּשׁ֨וּ אֵלַ֤⁠י & לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר

approached to=me & to=say

After this phrase Ezra begins to quote what these clan leaders told him. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this with an opening quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the beginning of a quotation.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹֽא־נִבְדְּל֞וּ & מֵ⁠עַמֵּ֖י הָ⁠אֲרָצ֑וֹת

not separated & from,peoples the,lands

Separation here is a spatial metaphor for behavior. As in 6:21, it means to refuse to do the same things as another group. Alternate translation: “have not refused to do the things that the other people groups living in the land do”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מֵ⁠עַמֵּ֖י הָ⁠אֲרָצ֑וֹת כְּ֠⁠תוֹעֲבֹֽתֵי⁠הֶם

from,peoples the,lands with,abominations,their

While the similar phrase in 6:21 spoke of “uncleanness,” that is, things that God does not accept, the phrase here speaks of abominations, that is, things that are very displeasing to God. Alternate translation: “from the things that are very displeasing to God that the other people groups living in the land do”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מֵ⁠עַמֵּ֖י הָ⁠אֲרָצ֑וֹת

from,peoples the,lands

See how you translated this expression in 3:3. It refers to members of other people groups who were living in and around the province of Judah. Alternate translation: “from the other people groups living in the land”

Note 8 topic: translate-names

לַ⁠כְּנַעֲנִ֨י הַ⁠חִתִּ֜י הַ⁠פְּרִזִּ֣י הַ⁠יְבוּסִ֗י הָֽ⁠עַמֹּנִי֙ הַ⁠מֹּ֣אָבִ֔י הַ⁠מִּצְרִ֖י וְ⁠הָ⁠אֱמֹרִֽי

from_the,Canaanites the,Hittites the,Perizzites the=Yebusi the,Ammonites the,Moabites the,Egyptians and,the,Amorites

These are the names of eight people groups.
