Joel assumes that his listeners will know that he wants them to do the things he describes in order to sound an alarm. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Blow the shofar in Zion, and shout on the mountain of my holiness in order to sound an alarm]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

שׁוֹפָ֜ר

trumpet

A shofar is a trumpet made from a ram’s horn. If your readers would not be familiar with what a shofar is, in your translation you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [a trumpet] or [a ram’s horn]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

שׁוֹפָ֜ר

trumpet

The phrase the shofar refers to shofars in general, not to any particular shofar. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: [a shofar] or [shofars]
