UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

טְמֵא־נֶ֛פֶשׁ

unclean_of creature

Haggai implicitly means a person who has died, and he is speaking specifically of that dead person’s body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the unclean by contact with a dead body]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

טְמֵא־נֶ֛פֶשׁ

unclean_of creature

Haggai is using the adjective unclean as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [a person who has become unclean by touching a dead body]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

טְמֵא־נֶ֛פֶשׁ

unclean_of creature

Haggai and the priests share the knowledge that if an Israelite touches a dead body, something that is ritually unclean, then that Israelite becomes ritually unclean himself for a certain period of time (see [Numbers 19:13](../num/19/13.md)). Such a person is not allowed to take part in public worship. It may be helpful to state this explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: [someone who has become ritually impure by contact with a dead body] or [someone who is unable to join in public worship because he has touched a dead body]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

בְּ⁠כָל־אֵ֖לֶּה הֲ⁠יִטְמָ֑א

in=all these ?,become_unclean

The pronoun these refers to the foods that Haggai described in the previous verse, and the pronoun it refers to one of those foods that an unclean person might touch. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [any of these foods, will the food that he touched become unclean] or [any of these foods, would that make the food that he touched unclean]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִטְמָֽא

become_unclean

This is the counterpart to the priests’ answer in the previous verse. It may be helpful to indicate the implications of this answer explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: [While a holy person does not communicate a holy state to objects that he touches, an unclean person does communicate an unclean state to objects that he touches, so any food that an unclean person touches does become unclean]
