UTN uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) Why are your mighty ones face-down on the ground? They will not stand

(Some words not found in UHB: why fled mighty_of,your not stand that/for/because/then/when YHWH thrust_~_down,him )

Some Bibles translate this as “Why has Apis fled? Why did your bull not stand?” Apis was an Egyptian god that was represented by the form of a bull. The bull is often a symbol for strength. That is why the ULT and other versions of the Bible translate this as “strong ones” or “mighty ones,” which refers to soldiers.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Why are your mighty ones face-down on the ground? They will not stand

(Some words not found in UHB: why fled mighty_of,your not stand that/for/because/then/when YHWH thrust_~_down,him )

Yahweh uses a question to mock the strength of the Egyptian soldiers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Your soldiers are face-down on the ground and will not stand”
