Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠רֹ֤אשׁ אֶפְרַ֨יִם֙ שֹׁמְר֔וֹן

and,the_head_of ʼEfrayim Shomrōn

Here, the head represents the capital city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [And the capital of Ephraim is Samaria … and the ruler of Samaria is the son of Remaliah]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠רֹ֥אשׁ שֹׁמְר֖וֹן בֶּן־רְמַלְיָ֑הוּ

and,the_head_of Shomrōn son_of Rəmal\sup_yāhū

Here, the head represents the chief ruler. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the chief ruler of Samaria is the son of Remaliah]

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

לֹ֣א תַאֲמִ֔ינוּ כִּ֖י לֹ֥א תֵאָמֵֽנוּ

not stand_firm_in_~_faith that/for/because/then/when not stand

The words translated as believe and established sound very similar in Hebrew. It is often difficult to reproduce this kind of word play in another language, but if your language does have similar terms that you can use in these instances, it would be appropriate to do that in your translation. If not, you could show the emphasis in another way. For example, some versions say “surely” instead of “then” to reflect how the wordplay makes this a stronger statement. Alternate translation: [If you do not believe, surely you will not be established]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹ֥א תֵאָמֵֽנוּ

not stand

The expression you will not be established is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God will not establish you]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

לֹ֥א תֵאָמֵֽנוּ

not stand

This is the end of a multi-level quotation structure. You may wish to mark the ending of each speech level with closing quotation marks or with some other punctuation or convention that your language uses. This is modeled in both the ULT and the UST.
