UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

וָ⁠אֵ֣דְעָ֔⁠ה

and,found_out,

In this context, the conjunction And indicates that this event took place after the event the story has just described. If it would be helpful in your language, you could show this relationship by using a word such as then. As with “understood” in 13:7, knew here means came to know or discovered or realized. Alternate translation: “Then I discovered that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

מְנָי֥וֹת הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֖ם לֹ֣א נִתָּ֑נָה

portions the,Levites not given

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מְנָי֥וֹת הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֖ם לֹ֣א נִתָּ֑נָה

portions the,Levites not given

The implication is that no one was giving the Levites their support because there was no longer any place to store the grain, oil, and other supplies in the temple, from where they could be distributed to them. This was because Tobiah had taken over the large storeroom. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “no one had been giving the Levites the support that the law commanded the Israelites to provide for them because there was no place to store the contributions now that Tobiah had taken over the storeroom”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מְנָי֥וֹת הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֖ם

portions the,Levites

As in 12:44 and 12:47, the abstract noun portion refers to the part of each crop that the law commanded the Israelites to give towards the work of the temple to support the Levites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this word with a different phrase. Alternate translation: “the support that the law commanded the Israelites to provide for the Levites”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּבְרְח֧וּ אִישׁ־לְ⁠שָׂדֵ֛⁠הוּ

and,gone_back (a)_man to,field,his

The implication is that the Levites had had to return to farming their own land because they no longer received from the people the support they needed to be able to serve in the temple. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “all of the Levites had left the temple and returned to farming their own land because they had all stopped receiving the support that enabled them to serve in the temple”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יִּבְרְח֧וּ

the,Levites and,the,singers conducted the,service

Here the book repeats some background information to remind readers who the Levites and the singers were. Alternate translation: “the Levites and the singers, who were responsible for the worship in the temple”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עֹשֵׂ֥י הַ⁠מְּלָאכָֽה

conducted the,service

The work is an abbreviated way of saying “the work of the house of our God” as in 10:33 or “the work of the house of God” as in 11:12, that is, the work of the temple, meaning specifically everything required to maintain the worship there. Alternate translation: “who were responsible for the worship in the temple”
