UTN uW Translation Notes:

לִ⁠שְׁתֵּ֣י כַלֹּתֶ֔י⁠הָ

to,two daughters-in-law,her

Alternate translation: "to her two sons’ wives" or "to the widows of her two sons"

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

לֵ֣כְנָה שֹּׁ֔בְנָה אִשָּׁ֖ה

go return woman/wife

Since Naomi is speaking to two people, the form of address would be dual here, if your language uses that form.

לֵ֣כְנָה שֹּׁ֔בְנָה אִשָּׁ֖ה לְ⁠בֵ֣ית אִמָּ֑⁠הּ

go return woman/wife to,house mother's,her

If this custom seems strange to your readers, you could include a footnote to explain it, such as: “According to the custom of the ancient Hebrews, a young widow could either stay with the family of her deceased husband or return to live with her parents until she married again.”

לְ⁠בֵ֣ית אִמָּ֑⁠הּ

to,house mother's,her

Alternate translation: "to the home of your mother"

Note 2 topic: translate-blessing

יעשה יְהוָ֤ה עִמָּ⁠כֶם֙ חֶ֔סֶד כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֧ר עֲשִׂיתֶ֛ם עִם־הַ⁠מֵּתִ֖ים וְ⁠עִמָּדִֽ⁠י

show YHWH to,you_all kindness just=as dealt with the,dead and,with,me

Naomi is asking God to bless Orpah and Ruth. Use a natural form for a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: “I pray that Yahweh will show you covenant faithfulness such as you have shown to the dead and to me.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

עִם־הַ⁠מֵּתִ֖ים

with the,dead

The writer is using the adjective dead as a noun to mean those who have died. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: "toward your husbands, who died,"

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֶ֔סֶד

kindness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “loyally and faithfully”
