UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וַ⁠תֹּ֤אמֶר נָעֳמִי֙

and=she/it_said Nāˊₒmī

The word But here indicates a strong contrast between what the daughters-in-law said and what Naomi is about to say. In your translation, indicate this strong contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “However, Naomi said”

בְנֹתַ֔⁠י

daughters,my

Orpah and Ruth are Naomi's daughters-in-law, but here and in the next two verses she calls them my daughters as a term of affection. If your language would not do that, you can express the affection in another way. Alternate translation: “my beloved daughters-in-law”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָ֥⁠מָּה תֵלַ֖כְנָה עִמִּ֑⁠י

to/for=what go with,me

Naomi is using the question form here to convince the young women of her own conviction. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “It does not make sense for you to go with me.” or “You should not go with me!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הַֽ⁠עֽוֹד־לִ֤⁠י בָנִים֙ בְּֽ⁠מֵעַ֔⁠י וְ⁠הָי֥וּ לָ⁠כֶ֖ם לַ⁠אֲנָשִֽׁים

?,yet to=me children in/on/at/with,womb,my and=they_will_be to/for=you_all as,husbands

Naomi is using the question form to make the point that she cannot have other sons for the young women to marry. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You know that I cannot have any more sons who could become your husbands.”
