UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal

בַּ⁠יּ֣וֹם הַ⁠חֲמִישִׁי֮

in_the=day the,fifth

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [on day five]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

סְעָד נָא֙ לְבָ֣בְ⁠ךָ֔

fortify now heart,your

See how you translated the same expression in 19:5.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / events

וְ⁠הִֽתְמַהְמְה֖וּ עַד נְט֣וֹת הַ⁠יּ֑וֹם וַ⁠יֹּאכְל֖וּ שְׁנֵי⁠הֶֽם

and,wait until declined the=day and,ate two,them

The author is describing one event before describing another event that preceded it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: [So the two of them ate, and they lingered unto the declining of the day]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

נְט֣וֹת הַ⁠יּ֑וֹם

declined the=day

The author says that the day was declining by association to mean that the sun was going down. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the sun began to go down]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֹּאכְל֖וּ שְׁנֵי⁠הֶֽם

and,ate two,them

The author assumes that readers will know that this means the Levite and his father-in-law ate together. He does not mean that the concubine and the servant went without food, but he is focusing on the hospitality that the father-in-law extended and the Levite accepted. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and the Levite and his father-in-law ate together]
