Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מִשָּׁ֛ם
from=there
The word there refers to all the other nations where Yahweh will force the Israelites to live if they disobey him. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “from those other nations”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּ֥ם מִשָּׁ֛ם אֶת־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ וּמָצָ֑אתָ כִּ֣י תִדְרְשֶׁ֔נּוּ
and,seek from=there DOM YHWH God,your and,find that/for/because/then/when seek,him
Here Moses is speaking of praying to and knowing Yahweh as if one could physically search for and seek him and find him in a specific place. As God, Yahweh is everywhere and cannot be limited to a single space. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And from there you will pray to Yahweh your God, and he will answer when you appeal to him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ וּמָצָ֑אתָ & תִדְרְשֶׁ֔נּוּ & לְבָבְךָ֖ & נַפְשֶֽׁךָ
God,your and,find & seek,him & heart,your & soul,your
Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you and your are singular here. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
בְּכָל־לְבָבְךָ֖ וּבְכָל־נַפְשֶֽׁךָ
in=all heart,your and=on/over=all soul,your
Here the words heart and spirit refer to a person’s will and desire to do something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “with all your will and with all your desire”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
בְּכָל־לְבָבְךָ֖ וּבְכָל־נַפְשֶֽׁךָ
in=all heart,your and=on/over=all soul,your
The terms heart and spirit mean similar things. Moses is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “with all of your will”
