UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠הָ֣יוּ לִ֗⁠י אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת & סְגֻלָּ֑ה

and=they_will_be to=me he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers & treasured_possession

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of possession, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [“And I will possess them” says Yahweh of Armies, “in a special way”]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לַ⁠יּ֕וֹם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲנִ֖י עֹשֶׂ֣ה

on_the,day which/who I producing

Yahweh speaks as if he is preparing a day. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [at the time when I act, as I am now preparing to do]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּֽ⁠אֲשֶׁר֙

just_as,

The point of this comparison is that just as a father tenderly cares for his son who serves him, so Yahweh will tenderly care for those who serve him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [in the same way that]
