UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Why are you doing … yourselves? Why are you causing … and babies?

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now thus he/it_had_said YHWH god armies/angels god Yisrael to/for,for_why? you_all doing harm great to/towards selves_of,you_all to,cut_off to/for=you_all (a)_man and,woman child and,infant from,midst Yehuda to=not leaving to/for=you_all remnant )

Yahweh uses these questions to rebuke the people for doing things that cause him to punish them. Alternate translation: “You are doing … yourselves. You are causing … and babies.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Occurrence 0) Why are you doing great wickedness against yourselves?

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word wickedness, you can express the same idea with a verbal form such as “wicked.” Alternate translation: “Why are you doing these wicked things that harm yourselves?” or “You are doing wicked things that cause terrible things to happen to you.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Why are you causing yourselves to be cut off from among Judah … and babies?

Being separated from the people of Judah is spoken of as if the people are cut off from Judah the way a person may cut off a branch from a vine or cut off a piece of cloth. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Why are you causing me to remove you from the people of Judah … and babies?” or “You are causing me to remove you from the people of Judah … and babies.”
