UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) Even the stork in heaven knows the right times; and the doves, swifts, and cranes

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet stork in=the_heavens knows seasons,her and,turtledove and, and,thrush observe DOM time coming,their and,people,my not know DOM ordinance YHWH )

The implied information is that these types of birds know the right times to migrate, which means to fly from one place to another at different times of the year for feeding or breeding.

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

(Occurrence 0) stork … doves, swifts, and cranes

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet stork in=the_heavens knows seasons,her and,turtledove and, and,thrush observe DOM time coming,their and,people,my not know DOM ordinance YHWH )

All of these are different types of birds that migrate.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) They go on their migrations at the right time, but my people do not know Yahweh’s decrees

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet stork in=the_heavens knows seasons,her and,turtledove and, and,thrush observe DOM time coming,their and,people,my not know DOM ordinance YHWH )

The implied information is that the people should have naturally known Yahweh’s decrees.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Occurrence 0) They go on their migrations

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet stork in=the_heavens knows seasons,her and,turtledove and, and,thrush observe DOM time coming,their and,people,my not know DOM ordinance YHWH )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word migrations, you can express the same idea with a verbal form such as “migrate.” Alternate translation: “They migrate” or “They fly from one region to another”
