UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

שָׁמַ֨עְתִּי֙ חֶרְפַּ֣ת

I_heard taunting

This is the beginning of a direct quotation from Yahweh, as the phrase “the declaration of Yahweh of armies, the God of Israel” in the next verse indicates. See how you translated the phrase “the declaration of Yahweh” in 1:2. If you used it to introduce the quotation there, you may wish to use the comparable phrase from 2:9 to introduce the quotation here. The UST models a way to do that.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

מוֹאָ֔ב

Mōʼāⱱ

Yahweh is speaking of the country of Moab as if it were a living thing that could have expressed reproach against the people of Judah. He is referring to the people of that country. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the people of Moab” or “the Moabites”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֣י עַמּ֑וֹן

sons_of ˊAmmōn

Here the word sons means “descendants.” Yahweh is describing the members of the Ammonite people group by reference to their common descent from a single ancestor, Benammi, here called Ammon. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the people of Ammon” or “the Ammonites”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יַּגְדִּ֖ילוּ עַל־גְּבוּלָֽ⁠ם

and,made_boasts on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in territory,their

This could mean: (1) that the Moabites and Ammonites have expanded their territories by taking territory away from the kingdom of Judah. Alternate translation: “and have stolen bordering territories from them” (2) that the Moabites and Ammonites have threatened to attack the kingdom of Judah and take some or all of its territory. Alternate translation: “and have boasted that they will take their territory”
