UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הִנֵּה֙

see/lo/see!

Naomi is using the term Behold to focus Ruth's attention on what she is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “Listen" or You know"

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

יְבִמְתֵּ֔⁠ךְ

sister-in-law,your

Naomi is using the phrase your sister-in-law to refer to Orpah, the widow of Ruth's deceased husband's brother. Use the natural term in your language to refer to that relationship. Alternate translation: "the widow of your husband’s brother" or "Orpah"

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

עַמָּ֖⁠הּ

people,her

Here, Naomi is using the possessive form to describe the people to whom Orpah belongs. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this in another way. Alternate translation: “the clan that she came from”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱלֹהֶ֑י⁠הָ

gods,her

Here, Naomi is using the possessive form to describe the god of the Moabites that Orpah and Ruth used to worship before they married Naomi's sons and began to worship Yahweh. If your language would not use the possessive form to express the relationship between Orpah and this god, you could express this in another way. Alternate translation: "the god that they worship"

Note 5 topic: translate-plural

אֱלֹהֶ֑י⁠הָ

gods,her

The word translated here as god is plural, but Hebrew quite commonly uses the plural when referring to a deity. Here it probably refers to the god of the Moabites named Chemosh, as it does in 1 Kings 11:33. If the Bible commonly used in your area uses a plural here, you may choose to do so too. Alternate translation: “her gods”
