uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠אֵ֨רֶא֙

and,I_will_look

The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [This is because I looked]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אֵ֣ין אִ֔ישׁ

and,there_[is]_not (a)_man

The implication is that among all the idols, there was none that could speak or give any counsel. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [but none of the idols could speak]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ⁠אֵ֣ין אִ֔ישׁ

and,there_[is]_not (a)_man

Yahweh uses the word but here to indicate a contrast between his looking for someone and finding no one. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [yet found no man]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠אֶשְׁאָלֵ֖⁠ם וְ⁠יָשִׁ֥יבוּ דָבָֽר

and,I,will_ask_them and,they_will_bring_back answer

The pronoun them refers to the idols. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And I asked the idols, but they did not return a word]
