UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

א֣וֹ כִ֤י יִגַּע֙ בְּ⁠טֻמְאַ֣ת אָדָ֔ם

or if touches in/on/at/with,uncleanness_of humankind

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of uncleanness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Or if he touches another human body in such a way that he himself becomes polluted]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּ⁠טֻמְאַ֣ת אָדָ֔ם

in/on/at/with,uncleanness_of humankind

The expression the uncleanness of a man uses the possessive form to refer to the uncleanness that is acquired from a human source. Alternate translation: [the uncleanness that comes from a person]

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

לְ⁠כֹל֙ טֻמְאָת֔⁠וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִטְמָ֖א בָּ֑⁠הּ

to=all/each/any/every uncleanness_of,his which/who become_unclean in/on/at/with,him

Here a verb and its object come from the same root. The phrase he becomes unclean translates a verb that is related to the noun translated as uncleanness. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis and your language has comparable terms that you can use in your own translation, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.

לְ⁠כֹל֙ טֻמְאָת֔⁠וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִטְמָ֖א בָּ֑⁠הּ

to=all/each/any/every uncleanness_of,his which/who become_unclean in/on/at/with,him

Alternate translation: [with regard to all of a person’s sins by which he sins]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

לְ⁠כֹל֙ טֻמְאָת֔⁠וֹ

to=all/each/any/every uncleanness_of,his

The pronoun his refers to the man mentioned earlier in the verse, which, although masculine, has a generic sense that refers to any human being, whether living or dead. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: [with regard to any uncleanness that comes from a human being, whether living or dead]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠נֶעְלַ֣ם מִמֶּ֔⁠נּוּ

and,unaware from=him/it

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and he does not realize it] or [and he does not know about it]
