UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וּ⁠שְׁמַעְתֶּ֣ם בְּ⁠קֹל֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠לֹ֥א תַמְר֖וּ אֶת־פִּ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

and,obey in/on/at/with,voice_of,his and=not rebel_against DOM command_of YHWH

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The first phrase states the idea positively, and the second phrase restates it negatively. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: [and obey what Yahweh commands]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠שְׁמַעְתֶּ֣ם בְּ⁠קֹל֔⁠וֹ

and,obey in/on/at/with,voice_of,his

The author is using the term voice by association to mean what Yahweh says. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and listen to what he says]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠שְׁמַעְתֶּ֣ם בְּ⁠קֹל֔⁠וֹ

and,obey in/on/at/with,voice_of,his

Samuel assumes that his listeners will understand that by listen, he means “obey.” You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and obey what he tells you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

פִּ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

command_of YHWH

Samuel is using the term mouth by association to mean the commands that Yahweh will speak with his mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the commands of Yahweh]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וִ⁠הְיִתֶ֣ם גַּם־אַתֶּ֗ם וְ⁠גַם־הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר מָלַ֣ךְ עֲלֵי⁠כֶ֔ם אַחַ֖ר יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵי⁠כֶֽם

and,you_all_are also/yet you_all and=also the=king which/who reigns over,you_all after YHWH God_of,your_all's

Samuel is speaking as if the Israelites and their king would actually be walking after or behind Yahweh. He is using this image to mean that Yahweh would lead and protect them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [then Yahweh will go ahead of you and the king who reigns over you] or [then Yahweh will deliver you and the king who reigns over you]
