UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

הַ⁠לְוִיִּם֩ בִּ⁠ימֵ֨י אֶלְיָשִׁ֜יב יוֹיָדָ֤ע וְ⁠יוֹחָנָן֙ וְ⁠יַדּ֔וּעַ כְּתוּבִ֖ים רָאשֵׁ֣י אָב֑וֹת

the,Levites in/on/at/with,days Eliashib Joiada and,Johanan and,Jaddua recorded heads families

Here the book leaves out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. The meaning seems to be, “During the times when Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua served as high priest, the Israelites kept records of which Levites were the clan leaders”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בִּ⁠ימֵ֨י אֶלְיָשִׁ֜יב יוֹיָדָ֤ע וְ⁠יוֹחָנָן֙ וְ⁠יַדּ֔וּעַ

in/on/at/with,days Eliashib Joiada and,Johanan and,Jaddua

The term days is used here to refer a particular period of time. Alternate translation: “the times when Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua served as high priest”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

אֶלְיָשִׁ֜יב יוֹיָדָ֤ע וְ⁠יוֹחָנָן֙ וְ⁠יַדּ֔וּעַ

Eliashib Joiada and,Johanan and,Jaddua

These are the names of four men.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

כְּתוּבִ֖ים

recorded

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. Alternate translation: “the Israelites kept records”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

רָאשֵׁ֣י אָב֑וֹת

heads families

This seems to be an abbreviated way of saying “the heads of father’s houses.” The full expression “house of the father” or “father’s house” is used in 7:61. See how you translated it there, and review the note there if that would be helpful. Alternate translation: “clan leaders”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רָאשֵׁ֣י

heads

Head here is a figurative way of saying “leader.” Alternate translation: “leaders”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠הַ⁠כֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים עַל־מַלְכ֖וּת דָּרְיָ֥וֶשׁ הַ⁠פָּֽרְסִֽי

and,the,priests on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in reign Deryāvēsh the,Persian

Here again the book leaves out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. The meaning seems to be, “The Israelites also made records during the reign of Darius III of which priests were the heads of their clans”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

דָּרְיָ֥וֶשׁ הַ⁠פָּֽרְסִֽי

Deryāvēsh the,Persian

The Persian king named Darius who reigned at the time of Jaddua, the last high priest mentioned in this verse, was Darius III Codomannus. The implication is therefore that the phrase “Darius the Persian” refers to him. (Since he reigned about a hundred years after Nehemiah lived, it is probable that scribes added this information to the book later on to bring it up to date.) If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this likely identification explicit. Alternate translation: “Darius III” or “Darius Codomannus” or “Darius III Codomannus”
