UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

יַחְפְּר֣וּ בָ֭⁠עֵמֶק

paws in/on/at/with,valley

The pronoun They refers to horses. Since Yahweh uses singular pronouns in the rest of this section, it may be natural in your language to use a singular form here as well. Alternate translation: “It paws in the valley” or “A horse paws in the valley”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יַחְפְּר֣וּ בָ֭⁠עֵמֶק

paws in/on/at/with,valley

Yahweh is using the term valley by association to mean a battleground, since at this time armies would fight against each other in valleys. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Before a battle, a horse paws the ground”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠יָשִׂ֣ישׂ בְּ⁠כֹ֑חַ

and,exults in/on/at/with,strength

Yahweh is speaking of a horse as if it could consciously rejoice over the strength that it had. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and it prances mightily”
