UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וַ⁠אֲמַרְתֶּם֩ הִנֵּ֨ה מַ⁠תְּלָאָ֜ה

and,say see/lo/see! what,weariness

If your language would not use a direct quotation inside of a direct quotation, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “But you say that it is a weariness”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הִנֵּ֨ה

see/lo/see!

The priests are speaking as if they wanted their listeners to Behold or look at something. They are using this term to focus their listeners’ attention on what they are about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

מַ⁠תְּלָאָ֜ה

what,weariness

The priests are using a phrase that expresses a strong feeling of tiredness or boredom. There may be an equivalent word or phrase in your language that you can use in your translation to convey this same feeling. You could also state what the priests were feeling. Alternate translation: “what drudgery” or “we are tired of doing this”

Note 4 topic: translate-symaction

וְ⁠הִפַּחְתֶּ֣ם אוֹת֗⁠וֹ

and,sniff_at DOM,it

In this culture, to puff at something, blowing a small breath at it, was a symbolic action that showed contempt. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of an action that has the same significance in your culture. You could also state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And you sniff at it” or “And you show contempt for it”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

גָּז֗וּל וְ⁠אֶת הַ⁠פִּסֵּ֨חַ֙ וְ⁠אֶת הַ֣⁠חוֹלֶ֔ה

stolen and=DOM the,lame and=DOM the,sick

Yahweh is not referring to specific stolen, lame, or sick animals. He means animals that have been stolen or are lame or sick in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “stolen animals, lame animals, and sick animals”

גָּז֗וּל

stolen

The word the ULT translates as the stolen could refer to: (1) animals that have been stolen. Alternate translation: “animals that are stolen” (2) animals that have been attacked and as a result are mutilated or torn. Alternate translation: “the torn” or “the injured”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

גָּז֗וּל

stolen

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: “animals that you have obtained by theft”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הַ⁠אֶרְצֶ֥ה אוֹתָ֛⁠הּ מִ⁠יֶּדְ⁠כֶ֖ם

?,accept DOM,that from,hand,your_all's

Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I will certainly not accept this from you!”
