UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בְּנֵ֤י לֵוִי֙ רָאשֵׁ֣י הָֽ⁠אָב֔וֹת כְּתוּבִ֕ים

sons_of Lēvīh heads the,family 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: “Scribes recorded the names of the Levites who were clan leaders”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֤י לֵוִי֙ רָאשֵׁ֣י הָֽ⁠אָב֔וֹת כְּתוּבִ֕ים

sons_of Lēvīh heads the,family recorded

Sons here means “descendants,” so this phrase refers to the descendants of Levi or the Levites. Alternate translation: “the Levites who were clan leaders”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

רָאשֵׁ֣י הָֽ⁠אָב֔וֹת

heads the,family

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 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רָאשֵׁ֣י

heads

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

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עַל־סֵ֖פֶר דִּבְרֵ֣י הַ⁠יָּמִ֑ים

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in writing annals_of the=days

This is an idiom that describes a regular record of the events. Alternate translation: “in their chronicles”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠עַד־יְמֵ֖י יֽוֹחָנָ֥ן

and=unto days_of Johanan

The term days is used here to refer to a particular period of time. Alternate translation: “through the time when Johanan was the high priest”

Note 7 topic: translate-names

יֽוֹחָנָ֥ן

Johanan

Johanan is the name of a man. The context indicates that he was a Jewish high priest, and so he seems to be the same man who is called “Jonathan” in verse 11. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the same name both here and in verse 11, either “Johanan” or “Jonathan”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֶּן־אֶלְיָשִֽׁיב

son_of Eliashib

Eliashib is the name of a man. Verse 12:10 shows that Johanan/Jonathan was not actually his son, but his grandson. So son here means “descendant.” Alternate translation: “the grandson of Eliashib” or “the descendant of Eliashib”
