uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-oathformula

יְהוָ֗ה יִהְיֶ֤ה שֹׁמֵ֨עַ֙ בֵּֽינוֹתֵ֔י⁠נוּ אִם־לֹ֥א כִ⁠דְבָרְ⁠ךָ֖ כֵּ֥ן נַעֲשֶֽׂה

YHWH will_belong (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said elders_of Gilˊād to/towards Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) YHWH will_belong witness between,us if not according,to_of,your_word yes/correct/thus/so do )

The elders are swearing an oath by describing a condition. If it would be clearer in your language, you could put the first part of the condition (if) before the second part of the condition (the implied “then”). Alternate translation: [If we do not do according to your word, then may Yahweh be hearing the things between us]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יְהוָ֗ה יִהְיֶ֤ה שֹׁמֵ֨עַ֙ בֵּֽינוֹתֵ֔י⁠נוּ אִם־לֹ֥א כִ⁠דְבָרְ⁠ךָ֖ כֵּ֥ן נַעֲשֶֽׂה

YHWH will_belong (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said elders_of Gilˊād to/towards Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) YHWH will_belong witness between,us if not according,to_of,your_word yes/correct/thus/so do )

In this context, the idea of Yahweh hearing includes the aspect of Yahweh judging and punishing people for not doing the things he has heard them promise. Alternate translation: [If we do not do according to your word, then may Yahweh punish us for not keeping the promises he has heard us make to you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּֽינוֹתֵ֔י⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said elders_of Gilˊād to/towards Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) YHWH will_belong witness between,us if not according,to_of,your_word yes/correct/thus/so do )

The elders are speaking of the commitments that they and Jephthah have made to each other as if they were literally something that had taken on actual form in the space between them. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [the things that have passed between us] or [the commitments we have made to each other]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אִם־לֹ֥א כִ⁠דְבָרְ⁠ךָ֖ כֵּ֥ן נַעֲשֶֽׂה

if not according,to_of,your_word (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said elders_of Gilˊād to/towards Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) YHWH will_belong witness between,us if not according,to_of,your_word yes/correct/thus/so do )

The elders are using the term word to represent what Jephthah has just said by using words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [if we do not do exactly what you have said]
