UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שִׁלְח֣וּ מַגָּ֔ל כִּ֥י בָשַׁ֖ל קָצִ֑יר & כִּֽי

(shilḩū maggāl kiy ⱱāshal qāʦir & kiy)

Yahweh is speaking as if he literally wanted the “warriors” mentioned in 3:11 to harvest grain. He means that he wants them to punish the nations. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Strike the nations, just as harvesters cut down grain with a sickle]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

שִׁלְח֣וּ מַגָּ֔ל

(shilḩū maggāl)

Yahweh is using the first action that someone would do in order to use a sickle, Stretch it out, to refer to the entire act of using it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Use the sickle]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

שִׁלְח֣וּ מַגָּ֔ל

(shilḩū maggāl)

Yahweh is not referring to a specific sickle. He means the sickles that his “warriors” of verse 11 symbolically have. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [Use your sickles]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

שִׁלְח֣וּ

(shilḩū)

The imperatives Stretch out, Come, and go down are plural here, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction. These imperatives seems to be addressing the “warriors” mentioned in [3:11](../03/11.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֹּ֤אֽוּ רְדוּ֙ כִּֽי־מָ֣לְאָה גַּ֔ת

(boʼū rədū kiy-māləʼāh gat)

Yahweh is speaking as if he literally wanted those “warriors” to press grapes. He means once again that he wants them to punish the nations. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yes, come and punish the nations, just as harvesters tread down the grapes that fill a winepress]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כִּ֥י & כִּ֥י רַבָּ֖ה רָעָתָֽ⁠ם

(kiy & kiy rabāh rāˊātā⁠m)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wickedness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [for they are very wicked]
