UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

בַּ֭⁠חֵיק יוּטַ֣ל אֶת־הַ⁠גּוֹרָ֑ל & כָּל־מִשְׁפָּטֽ⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,lap throw DOM the,lot & all/each/any/every decision,its

A lot, the lap, and its refer to these things in general, not to a specific lot and lap. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any lot is cast into a person’s lap … that lots every judgment”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

בַּ֭⁠חֵיק יוּטַ֣ל אֶת־הַ⁠גּוֹרָ֑ל

in/on/at/with,lap throw DOM the,lot

A lot was a marked stone that was thrown or rolled on the ground in order to help decide something. People believed that God would guide the lot so that it showed them what to do. If your culture has a similar object, you could use the word for that in your language here. Alternate translation: “A marked stone is cast into the lap” or “People throw dice”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בַּ֭⁠חֵיק יוּטַ֣ל אֶת־הַ⁠גּוֹרָ֑ל

in/on/at/with,lap throw DOM the,lot

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “A person throws a lot into a lap”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כָּל־מִשְׁפָּטֽ⁠וֹ

all/each/any/every decision,its

Here, judgment refers to the decision that is made based on the result of casting lots. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “its every decision” or “whatever happens with the lot”
