UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּזְכֹּ֤ר אֱלֹהִים֙

and,remembered ʼElohīm

The phrase God remembered is an idiom in the Bible that often means God was paying special attention to certain people and was about to do something. Make sure that the way you translate this phrase does not imply that God had forgotten about Noah. Alternate translation: “God kept in mind” or “But God did not forget”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת נֹ֔חַ

DOM Noaḩ

Noah is the person that the author is focusing on here, but Noah’s family is also included. Consider whether or not you need to make that explicit in your translation.

וְ⁠אֵ֤ת כָּל הַֽ⁠חַיָּה֙ וְ⁠אֶת

and=DOM all/each/any/every the=living and=DOM

In the Hebrew text this phrase is ambiguous. It could mean: (1) “and all the creatures/animals, including” or (2) “and all the wild animals and”. See how you translated “living thing” in Gen 7:14.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

כָּל הַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִתּ֖⁠וֹ בַּ⁠תֵּבָ֑ה

all/each/any/every all/each/any/every the=cattle/livestock which/who with=him/it in/on/at/with,ark

Some translations combine this phrase with the previous phrase and say, “and all the animals, both wild and tame/domestic, that were with him/them in the ark/boat.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “all the tame animals that were with him in the ark”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יַּעֲבֵ֨ר אֱלֹהִ֥ים ר֨וּחַ֙ עַל

and,blow ʼElohīm wind on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and he sent a wind over” or “So God sent a wind to blow over”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הָ⁠אָ֔רֶץ

the=earth/land

Alternate translation: “the water that was over the earth,”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יָּשֹׁ֖כּוּ הַ⁠מָּֽיִם

and,subsided the=waters

Notice that the floodwaters did not go all the way down until verse 14, so the way you translate this clause should allow for that. Alternate translation: “so that the water started to recede” or “so that the water level started to go down.”
