UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

וַ⁠יִּרְא֤וּ אֹתָ⁠הּ֙ שָׂרֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה

and=they_saw DOM=her/it officials Farˊoh's

The term officials is general and refers to leaders or rulers who were under Pharaoh and served him. Also, the term Pharaoh is an Egyptian title that refers to the king or ruler over Egypt. However, in the Old Testament, it is treated as a name (that frequently occurs with the title “king of Egypt”), so translators often transliterate Pharaoh (which is how other names in the Bible are normally treated). Some languages require an honorific title with the names of kings, for example, “King Pharaoh”. Decide how you will handle this in your translation. Alternate translation: “Some of the officers who ruled under the Egyptian king spotted her, so” or “When some officials of Pharaoh the king of Egypt saw her,”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יְהַֽלְל֥וּ אֹתָ֖⁠הּ אֶל פַּרְעֹ֑ה

and,praised DOM=her/it to/towards Farˊoh

Alternate translation: “they told him how beautiful she was,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠תֻּקַּ֥ח הָ⁠אִשָּׁ֖ה

and,taken the=woman

Consider what is the best way to translate this passive clause in your language. Also consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and she was brought” or “So he had them bring Sarai”

בֵּ֥ית פַּרְעֹֽה

house_of Farˊoh's

Alternate translation: “into his palace to be one of his wives.”
