UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֔ה

and,the,animals

The implication is that these are the people’s domestic animals. They are not wild animals. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and every animal that they own]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠יִקְרְא֥וּ אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּ⁠חָזְקָ֑ה

and,call to/towards ʼElohīm in/on/at/with,urgency

The writer assumes that his readers will understand what the people were to pray for. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and they must cry out loudly to God and ask for mercy] or [and they must pray earnestly to God that he would be merciful to them]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠יִקְרְא֥וּ

and,call

The pronoun they probably refers to the people, not to the animals. If this is not clear for your readers, you could include this information. Alternate translation: [and the people must cry out]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הֶ⁠חָמָ֖ס אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ⁠כַפֵּי⁠הֶֽם

the,violence which/who in/on/at/with,hands_of,his

Here, hands represents “doing.” This refers to the violence that the people of Nineveh were doing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the violent things that they have done]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ⁠כַפֵּי⁠הֶֽם

which/who in/on/at/with,hands_of,his

The plural pronoun their refers to each man who has been doing evil. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a singular pronoun here so that it agrees with the singular each man. Alternate translation: [that is in his hands] or [that he has done]
