UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

זָכְרָ⁠ה־לִּ֥⁠י אֱלֹהַ֖⁠י עַל־זֹ֑את

remember, to/for=me God,my on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in this(f)

In this context, remember means to think about someone and consider what action you can take on their behalf. Nehemiah is not suggesting that God has forgotten about him. Alternate translation: “please bless me, my God, for doing this”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / aside

זָכְרָ⁠ה־לִּ֥⁠י אֱלֹהַ֖⁠י עַל־זֹ֑את

remember, to/for=me God,my on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in this(f)

As in 4:4, here Nehemiah stops addressing the audience of his story and speaks directly to God. You could indicate this by putting this verse in quotation marks. Review the note at 4:4 about asides like this if that would be helpful.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אַל־תֶּ֣מַח

and,not wipe_out

Nehemiah speaks of his good deeds as if they were something written that could be erased. Alternate translation: “do not overlook”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֲסָדַ֗⁠י

good_deeds,my

The abstract noun faithful kindness here is the same as the term “covenant faithfulness” that Nehemiah applies to God in 1:5, 9:17, 9:32, and 13:22. It refers to a person consistently and dependably fulfilling the obligations they have accepted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this word with a phrase that would bring out this meaning. Alternate translation: “the way that I have consistently provided for”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠בֵ֥ית אֱלֹהַ֖⁠י

in=house_of God,my

Nehemiah speaks of the temple as the house of God as if it were God’s dwelling place. Alternate translation: “your temple”

וּ⁠בְ⁠מִשְׁמָרָֽי⁠ו

and,in/on/at/with,services,its

As in 12:9 and 12:24, the phrase service watch refers to the Levite singers. It means either an individual choir or a time on duty for the singers. Alternate translation: “and for the Levite singers”
