UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

מִמֵּ֣⁠ךְ

from,you

The pronoun you refers to Nineveh. If this is not clear for your readers, you could add the city’s name here. Alternate translation: [From you, Nineveh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

מִמֵּ֣⁠ךְ

from,you

Here, you is singular. It refers to Nineveh, so use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

מִמֵּ֣⁠ךְ יָצָ֔א

from,you he/it_went_forth

Nahum has been referring to Nineveh in the third person, but now he addresses the city directly in the second person. He does this even though he knows that the people of Nineveh cannot hear him. He does this in order to more powerfully express his prophecy against the people of Nineveh to his audience, the people of Judah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the transition here more clearly or add the name of the city. Alternate translation: [This is what I say to Nineveh: From you came out] or [From you, Nineveh, came out]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

חֹשֵׁ֥ב & רָעָ֑ה יֹעֵ֖ץ בְּלִיָּֽעַל

plots & evil counsellor_of wickedness

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the clauses or connect them with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [a plotter of evil … indeed, an advisor of wickedness]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֹשֵׁ֥ב & רָעָ֑ה יֹעֵ֖ץ בְּלִיָּֽעַל

plots & evil counsellor_of wickedness

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of evil and wickedness, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [an evil plotter … a wicked advisor]
