UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

וַ⁠תְּהִ֨י

and=it_became

Nehemiah now relates something else that was happening even while the Jews were trying to rebuild the wall and defend themselves against their enemies. You can make this clear in your translation with an appropriate connecting word or phrase. Alternate translation: “Around this same time”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

צַעֲקַ֥ת הָ⁠עָ֛ם וּ⁠נְשֵׁי⁠הֶ֖ם גְּדוֹלָ֑ה

outcry the,people and,wives,their great

Outcry is an abstract noun that refers to the complaints that the poorer Jews made to Nehemiah about how the wealthier and more powerful Jews were treating them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this word with a verb such as “complain.” Since Nehemiah says this was a “great” outcry, involving many serious grievances, you could intensify the verb with an adverb such as “bitterly.” Alternate translation: “many of the men and their wives complained bitterly”

הָ⁠עָ֛ם וּ⁠נְשֵׁי⁠הֶ֖ם

the,people and,wives,their

Here, the people seems to indicate certain men who lived in Jerusalem, since Nehemiah also mentions their wives. Alternate translation: “many of the men and their wives”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲחֵי⁠הֶ֖ם

brothers,their

Here, brother does not seem to mean biological brothers, but to refer to other members of the same people group. Alternate translation: “their fellow Jews”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

אֲחֵי⁠הֶ֖ם הַ⁠יְּהוּדִֽים

brothers,their the,Jewish

These two short phrases mean similar things. Nehemiah uses them together to emphasize how inappropriate it was for people to treat members of their own group in the ways described. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “their fellow Jews”
