uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וְ⁠שָׂרַפְתָּ֨ בָ⁠אֵ֜שׁ אֶת־הָ⁠עִ֤יר

(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM all/each/any/every plunder_of,its gather to/towards middle_of its_open_place_of,her and,you_will_burn with,fire DOM the=city and=DOM all/each/any/every plunder_of,its whole_burnt_offering to/for=YHWH God_of,your and,it_will_be ruin_of forever not rebuilt again/more )

The expression burn the city in fire contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [and burn the city]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וְ⁠שָׂרַפְתָּ֨ בָ⁠אֵ֜שׁ אֶת־הָ⁠עִ֤יר וְ⁠אֶת־כָּל־שְׁלָלָ⁠הּ֙ כָּלִ֔יל

(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM all/each/any/every plunder_of,its gather to/towards middle_of its_open_place_of,her and,you_will_burn with,fire DOM the=city and=DOM all/each/any/every plunder_of,its whole_burnt_offering to/for=YHWH God_of,your and,it_will_be ruin_of forever not rebuilt again/more )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses so that the objects of the verb burn are clear. Alternate translation: [and completely burn the city and all its spoil in fire]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לַ⁠יהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶ֑י⁠ךָ

to/for=YHWH God_of,your

The implication is that burning the spoil would be like burning an offering for Yahweh. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [as an offering for Yahweh your God]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM all/each/any/every plunder_of,its gather to/towards middle_of its_open_place_of,her and,you_will_burn with,fire DOM the=city and=DOM all/each/any/every plunder_of,its whole_burnt_offering to/for=YHWH God_of,your and,it_will_be ruin_of forever not rebuilt again/more )

The implication is that the city will become a heap of ruins. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [a heap of ruins]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹ֥א תִבָּנֶ֖ה עֽוֹד

not (Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM all/each/any/every plunder_of,its gather to/towards middle_of its_open_place_of,her and,you_will_burn with,fire DOM the=city and=DOM all/each/any/every plunder_of,its whole_burnt_offering to/for=YHWH God_of,your and,it_will_be ruin_of forever not rebuilt again/more )

The expression be built is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [no one should ever build that city again]
