UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) Do not fear or be afraid

(Some words not found in UHB: not tremble and,not afraid ?,not from,of_old told,you and,declared and,you_all witnesses,my ?,is_there god from,besides,me and,there_is_no rock not know )

Yahweh uses two similar expressions in order to strengthen his encouragement. Alternate translation: “Do not be afraid”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Have I not declared to you long ago, and announced it?

(Some words not found in UHB: not tremble and,not afraid ?,not from,of_old told,you and,declared and,you_all witnesses,my ?,is_there god from,besides,me and,there_is_no rock not know )

Yahweh uses this question to emphasize that he is the one who predicted the events that have now happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. The word “announced” means basically the same thing as “declared.” Alternate translation: “I declared these things to you long ago.” (See also: figs-doublet)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Is there any God besides me?

(Some words not found in UHB: not tremble and,not afraid ?,not from,of_old told,you and,declared and,you_all witnesses,my ?,is_there god from,besides,me and,there_is_no rock not know )

Yahweh uses a question again to emphasize that there is no other God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “There is no God besides me.”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) There is no other Rock

(Some words not found in UHB: not tremble and,not afraid ?,not from,of_old told,you and,declared and,you_all witnesses,my ?,is_there god from,besides,me and,there_is_no rock not know )

Yahweh speaks of himself as if he were a large rock under which people can find shelter. This means he has the power to protect his people.
