UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠נִּבְנֶה֙ אֶת־הַ֣⁠חוֹמָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just=as they_went the,Jews the,lived near,them and=they_said to/for=us ten times from=all the,places which/who turn against,us )

As in chapter 3, it might be helpful to say “rebuilt.” The Jews were not building something brand new. See the note to 3:1.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠תִּקָּשֵׁ֥ר כָּל־הַ⁠חוֹמָ֖ה עַד־חֶצְיָ֑⁠הּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just=as they_went the,Jews the,lived near,them and=they_said to/for=us ten times from=all the,places which/who turn against,us )

You can say this with an active form, and you can say who did the action. Alternate translation: “we filled in the breaks as high as halfway up the wall”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תִּקָּשֵׁ֥ר כָּל־הַ⁠חוֹמָ֖ה עַד־חֶצְיָ֑⁠הּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just=as they_went the,Jews the,lived near,them and=they_said to/for=us ten times from=all the,places which/who turn against,us )

It appears from the context that this likely took some time and perseverance after Sanballat and Tobiah began to mock and oppose the project. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “after some time, we filled in the breaks”

Note 3 topic: translate-fraction

עַד־חֶצְיָ֑⁠הּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just=as they_went the,Jews the,lived near,them and=they_said to/for=us ten times from=all the,places which/who turn against,us )

“Half” means one part out of two equal parts.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יְהִ֧י לֵ֦ב לָ⁠עָ֖ם לַ⁠עֲשֽׂוֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just=as they_went the,Jews the,lived near,them and=they_said to/for=us ten times from=all the,places which/who turn against,us )

Here the heart represents the thoughts and the will of the people. Alternate translation: “Everyone was determined to accomplish this.”
