UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לֹ֤א תַֽעֲלוּ֙ וְ⁠לֹא־תִלָּ֣חֲמ֔וּ כִּ֥י אֵינֶ֖⁠נִּי בְּ⁠קִרְבְּ⁠כֶ֑ם וְ⁠לֹא֙ תִּנָּֽגְפ֔וּ לִ⁠פְנֵ֖י אֹיְבֵי⁠כֶֽם

not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to=me say to/for=them not go_up and=not fight that/for/because/then/when not,I in/on/at/with,midst,you_all and=not defeated to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before enemies,your_all's )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could move the last phrase to the beginning, since the last phrase gives the reason for the result that the beginning of the sentence describes. Alternate translation: “I will not be among you, so do not go up and do not fight, and you will not be defeated before the face of your enemies.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹ֤א תַֽעֲלוּ֙

Here, go up means “approach in battle.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Do not go to war”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠לֹא֙ תִּנָּֽגְפ֔וּ לִ⁠פְנֵ֖י אֹיְבֵי⁠כֶֽם

and=not defeated to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before enemies,your_all's

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “or your enemies will defeat you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

וְ⁠לֹא֙ תִּנָּֽגְפ֔וּ לִ⁠פְנֵ֖י אֹיְבֵי⁠כֶֽם

and=not defeated to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before enemies,your_all's

Yahweh is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that the Israelites will be defeated if they “fight”. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “or you will be defeated before the face of your enemies”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֖י

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before

Here, face represents the presence of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֵינֶ֖⁠נִּי בְּ⁠קִרְבְּ⁠כֶ֑ם

not,I in/on/at/with,midst,you_all

As God, Yahweh is always everywhere. The implication is that Yahweh will not be among the Israelites in a special way to help them. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. See chapter introduction for more information. Alternate translation: “I will not help you”
