UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

וַ⁠יִּֽירְא֤וּ הָֽ⁠אֲנָשִׁים֙ יִרְאָ֣ה גְדוֹלָ֔ה

and,afraid the,men terror even_more

Here, feared a great fear is an emphatic construction that uses a verb and its object that both come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “Then the men were extremely frightened”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה־זֹּ֣את עָשִׂ֑יתָ

what? this you(ms)_have_done/made

The men on the ship used a rhetorical question to show how afraid and angry they were that Jonah was causing so much trouble for all of them. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You have done a terrible thing!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠לִּ⁠פְנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙

from=to/for=face/front/presence YHWH

This is an expression that refers to the face of Yahweh to represent his presence. The idea of Yahweh’s presence also includes his knowledge, notice, attention, or judgment. By running away, Jonah is hoping that Yahweh will not notice that he is disobeying. Alternate translation: “from the presence of Yahweh”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-time-background

כִּ֥י הִגִּ֖יד לָ⁠הֶֽם

that/for/because/then/when he/it_told to/for=them

This verse provides background information about Jonah's disobedience to help readers understand why the sailors were afraid. The sailors reacted in fear because Jonah had already told them that he was running away from Yahweh, the God he worshiped. In your translation, present this information in a way that makes it clear that this is background information. Alternatively, place this information before the first sentence about the sailors being afraid.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

כִּֽי־יָדְע֣וּ הָ⁠אֲנָשִׁ֗ים כִּֽי־מִ⁠לִּ⁠פְנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙ ה֣וּא בֹרֵ֔חַ כִּ֥י הִגִּ֖יד לָ⁠הֶֽם

that/for/because/then/when knew the,men that/for/because/then/when from=to/for=face/front/presence YHWH he/it fleeing that/for/because/then/when he/it_told to/for=them

Jonah told the sailors that he was running away from before the face of Yahweh before they reacted with great fear. If it is more natural in your language to put information in the order that it happened, you can put this sentence before the other and translate it as follows. Alternate translation: “Jonah told the men that he was running away from before the face of Yahweh”
