UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

וַ⁠יִּקְרַ֤ב אֵלָי⁠ו֙ רַ֣ב הַ⁠חֹבֵ֔ל וַ⁠יֹּ֥אמֶר ל֖⁠וֹ

and,approached to=him/it great//chief/captain the,ship and=he/it_said to=him/it

The captain of the ship is the person who is in charge of the ship and the crew. The crew is another name for the group of sailors who work there. If your readers would not be familiar with these occupations, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term or a description. Alternate translation: “Then the man in charge of the men working on the ship came to Jonah and said”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה־לְּ⁠ךָ֣ נִרְדָּ֑ם

what? to,you sound_asleep

The captain is using the question form to scold Jonah. 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: “Stop sleeping!” or “You should not be sleeping!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מַה־לְּ⁠ךָ֣

what? to,you

This is an idiom that communicates that the speaker objects to the behavior of the person being addressed. Alternate translation: “What is the matter with you” or “What are you thinking”

ק֚וּם

get_up

While this phrase was used as an idiom in 1:2 and 1:3, meaning to prepare to begin the activity which was stated next, here the captain is telling Jonah literally to get up from sleeping.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

קְרָ֣א אֶל־אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ

call to/towards god,your

To Cry out to someone means to loudly ask him for help. Alternate translation: “Pray to your god”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אוּלַ֞י יִתְעַשֵּׁ֧ת הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֛ים לָ֖⁠נוּ וְ⁠לֹ֥א נֹאבֵֽד

perhaps take_notice the=ʼElohīm to/for=us and=not perish

The implication is that Jonah's god might not only notice them but save them. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Maybe your god will hear and save us so that we will not die”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

וְ⁠לֹ֥א נֹאבֵֽד

and=not perish

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb perish. Alternate translation: “and he will save us” or “and we will survive”
