UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲשֶׁר־חָשַׂ֥כְתִּי

which/who reserved

The pronoun which refers to both the “snow” and the “hail” that Yahweh mentioned in the previous verse, but especially to the hail, which he used to defeat his enemies in battles such as the one described in Joshua 10:1–15. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “I keep snow and especially hail”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לְ⁠עֶת־צָ֑ר

for,time trouble

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of trouble, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “for a time when people are fighting”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לְ⁠י֥וֹם קְ֝רָ֗ב וּ⁠מִלְחָמָֽה

for,day battle and,war

Yahweh is using the term day to refer to a specific time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for a time when there is battle and war”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

קְ֝רָ֗ב וּ⁠מִלְחָמָֽה

battle and,war

The terms battle and war mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “great warfare”
