Here “sword” represents enemies. Alternate translation: “enemies will kill your sons and daughters”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) your land will be measured and divided up

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence thus he/it_had_said YHWH wife_of,your in,city become_a_prostitute and,your(pl)_of,sons and,your(pl)_of,daughters by,sword fall and,your_of,land with,measuring-line divided_up and=you(ms) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in soil/ground unclean you(ms)_will_die and,Israel to_go_into_exile he_will_go_into_exile from=under land_of,its )

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: “other people will take your land and divide it up among themselves”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) an unclean land

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence thus he/it_had_said YHWH wife_of,your in,city become_a_prostitute and,your(pl)_of,sons and,your(pl)_of,daughters by,sword fall and,your_of,land with,measuring-line divided_up and=you(ms) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in soil/ground unclean you(ms)_will_die and,Israel to_go_into_exile he_will_go_into_exile from=under land_of,its )

A land full of people that are unacceptable to God is spoken of as if the land were physically unclean. Here it means a land other than Israel. Alternate translation: “a foreign land”
