uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יְהִ֣י

and=he/it_was

The author is using this phrase to introduce a new development in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בַּ⁠יּ֣וֹם הַ⁠שְּׁבִיעִ֗י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and=they_said to,the_wife_of Shimshvōn/(Samson)'s entice DOM your(fs)=man/husband so,that_he_may_tell to/for=us DOM the,riddle lest burn ,you and=DOM house_of your_father_of,your with,fire ,to,impoverish, invited to/for=us [is,it]_not_[so]? )

The author assumes that his readers will know that by saying on the seventh day he means the last day of the feast, when the Philistine young men would have to give Samson many expensive garments if they could not solve the riddle. You could say that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [on the last day of the feast, when they would have to give Samson many expensive garments if they could not solve the riddle]

Note 3 topic: translate-kinship

לְ⁠אֵֽשֶׁת־שִׁמְשׁוֹן֙ & אֶת־אִישֵׁ֗⁠ךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and=they_said to,the_wife_of Shimshvōn/(Samson)'s entice DOM your(fs)=man/husband so,that_he_may_tell to/for=us DOM the,riddle lest burn ,you and=DOM house_of your_father_of,your with,fire ,to,impoverish, invited to/for=us [is,it]_not_[so]? )

In this culture, people would speak of a woman who was engaged to a man as his wife, and they would speak of a man who was engaged to a woman as her husband, even before the two were yet married. Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Alternate translation: [to the fiancée of Samson … your fiancé]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

נִשְׂרֹ֥ף אוֹתָ֛⁠ךְ וְ⁠אֶת־בֵּ֥ית אָבִ֖י⁠ךְ בָּ⁠אֵ֑שׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and=they_said to,the_wife_of Shimshvōn/(Samson)'s entice DOM your(fs)=man/husband so,that_he_may_tell to/for=us DOM the,riddle lest burn ,you and=DOM house_of your_father_of,your with,fire ,to,impoverish, invited to/for=us [is,it]_not_[so]? )

It might seem that the expression we burn you and the house of your father with fire contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [we burn you to death you and the house of your father]

Note 5 topic: translate-kinship

וְ⁠אֶת־בֵּ֥ית אָבִ֖י⁠ךְ

and=DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and=they_said to,the_wife_of Shimshvōn/(Samson)'s entice DOM your(fs)=man/husband so,that_he_may_tell to/for=us DOM the,riddle lest burn ,you and=DOM house_of your_father_of,your with,fire ,to,impoverish, invited to/for=us [is,it]_not_[so]? )

Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Alternate translation: [and your whole extended family]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הַ⁠לְ⁠יָרְשֵׁ֕⁠נוּ קְרָאתֶ֥ם לָ֖⁠נוּ הֲ⁠לֹֽא

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and=they_said to,the_wife_of Shimshvōn/(Samson)'s entice DOM your(fs)=man/husband so,that_he_may_tell to/for=us DOM the,riddle lest burn ,you and=DOM house_of your_father_of,your with,fire ,to,impoverish, invited to/for=us [is,it]_not_[so]? )

The Philistine young men are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [It certainly seems as if you invited us here to rob us!]
