UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וְ⁠גָלֻ֣ת הַֽ⁠חֵל־הַ֠⁠זֶּה

and,exiles the,host the=this

Here, exile is a collective singular noun that includes all of the people who were exiled. Alternate translation: “All of the large group of people who were captured and taken away from their homes”

הַֽ⁠חֵל

the,host

Here, the word translated as army can also mean “a large number of people.” In this context, the large number of people are also described as capturing territory, so they will be acting as an army. If you have a term that can mean both of these things, use it here. If not, then choose the term that fits best.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠בְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל

of,people Yisrael

Here, there are two possibilities for the meaning of the sons of Israel: (1) In this context, Israel is identified as occupying territory in the north and is in contrast with Jerusalem, so it seems that the sons of Israel is referring to people who are from the northern kingdom of Israel. Alternate translation: “from northern Israel” (2) It could refer to all of the descendants of Israel. Alternate translation: “of the people of Israel”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֲשֶֽׁר־כְּנַעֲנִים֙

who Kənaˊₐnī

The land of Canaan is where the people of Israel lived before they were exiled. So the people are being called by the name of the place where they lived, and where they will live again. Alternate translation: “who lived in the land of Canaan”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

עַד־צָ֣רְפַ֔ת

until Tsₑrəfat/(Zarephath)

Zarephath was a Phoenician city north of Israel on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea between Tyre and Sidon. Alternate translation: “as far north as Zarephath”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עַד־צָ֣רְפַ֔ת

until Tsₑrəfat/(Zarephath)

The reader is expected to supply the verb “will possess” or “will capture” from the previous sentence. Alternate translation: “will capture the territory as far north as Zarephath”

Note 6 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וְ⁠גָלֻ֥ת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם

and,exiles Yerushalayim

Here, exile is a collective singular noun that includes all of the people who were captured and taken away from their homes in Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “The people who were captured and taken away from their homes in Jerusalem”

Note 7 topic: translate-names

בִּ⁠סְפָרַ֑ד

in/on/at/with,Sepharad

Sepharad is the name of a place whose location is unknown to modern scholars. Some experts suggest that it refers to the city of Sardis in the region of Lydia. This would be in Asia Minor, northwest of Israel, in what is now the country of Turkey. Alternate translation: “currently live in Sepharad”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִֽרְשׁ֕וּ

possess

In order to conquer the cities of the Negev, these exiles first will return from the distant lands where they are living. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “they will come back and conquer”

Note 9 topic: translate-names

הַ⁠נֶּֽגֶב

the,Negev

The Negev is the name of the southern region of Judea that is dry, rocky, and barren. See how you translated this in 1:19 Alternate translation: “the southern Judean wilderness”
