(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when the,nation and,the,kingdom which/who not they,will_serve_you perish and,the,nations to_be_ruined they_will_be_ruined )

For 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]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הַ⁠גּ֧וֹי וְ⁠הַ⁠מַּמְלָכָ֛ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא יַעַבְד֖וּ⁠ךְ

the,nation and,the,kingdom which/who not they,will_serve_you

Yahweh is not referring to a specific nation or kingdom. He means any nation or kingdom that refuses to serve Jerusalem. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [any nation and any kingdom that does not serve you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

הַ⁠גּ֧וֹי וְ⁠הַ⁠מַּמְלָכָ֛ה

the,nation and,the,kingdom

The terms the nation and the kingdom mean similar things. Yahweh 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: [the people group]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

וְ⁠הַ⁠גּוֹיִ֖ם חָרֹ֥ב יֶחֱרָֽבוּ

and,the,nations to_be_ruined they_will_be_ruined

Yahweh is repeating forms of the verb destroy in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [and nations, they will completely destroy]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

יֶחֱרָֽבוּ

they_will_be_ruined

Yahweh is using the pronoun they in a general sense, not to refer to specific people. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [yes, those nations will be completely destroyed]
