UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

גֹאֲלָ֥⁠ם

redeemer,their

Here, their redeemer refers to Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “their Redeemer, Yahweh,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֽוּא־יָרִ֖יב אֶת־רִיבָ֣⁠ם אִתָּֽ⁠ךְ

he/it plead DOM cause,their against,you

Here, the writer refers to Yahweh protecting “the fatherless ones” as if he were a lawyer who defends them in a legal dispute. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he himself will defend the orphans against you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

הֽוּא־יָרִ֖יב

he/it plead

The writer uses the word himself to emphasize how significant it was that Yahweh defends the defenseless. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: “he indeed will plead”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רִיבָ֣⁠ם

cause,their

See how you translated the abstract noun dispute in 15:18.
