uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הַ⁠שֶּׁ֨מֶשׁ֙ יֵהָפֵ֣ךְ לְ⁠חֹ֔שֶׁךְ וְ⁠הַ⁠יָּרֵ֖חַ לְ⁠דָ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: the,sun turned into,darkness and,the,moon into,blood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before comes day YHWH (the),great and,(the),awesome )

Yahweh is speaking as if the sun and moon would literally turn into darkness and blood. He means that they will appear as they do during eclipses. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [The sun and the moon will appear as they do during eclipses]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הַ⁠שֶּׁ֨מֶשׁ֙ יֵהָפֵ֣ךְ לְ⁠חֹ֔שֶׁךְ וְ⁠הַ⁠יָּרֵ֖חַ לְ⁠דָ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: the,sun turned into,darkness and,the,moon into,blood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before comes day YHWH (the),great and,(the),awesome )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [The sun will become darkness and the moon will become blood]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠הַ⁠יָּרֵ֖חַ לְ⁠דָ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: the,sun turned into,darkness and,the,moon into,blood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before comes day YHWH (the),great and,(the),awesome )

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and the moon will be turned into blood]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לִ⁠פְנֵ֗י בּ֚וֹא י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה הַ⁠גָּד֖וֹל וְ⁠הַ⁠נּוֹרָֽא

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before comes day YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: the,sun turned into,darkness and,the,moon into,blood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before comes day YHWH (the),great and,(the),awesome )

Here, to the face of is an idiom that means “before.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה הַ⁠גָּד֖וֹל וְ⁠הַ⁠נּוֹרָֽא

day YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: the,sun turned into,darkness and,the,moon into,blood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before comes day YHWH (the),great and,(the),awesome )

Yahweh is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [my great and terrible day]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה הַ⁠גָּד֖וֹל וְ⁠הַ⁠נּוֹרָֽא

day YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: the,sun turned into,darkness and,the,moon into,blood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before comes day YHWH (the),great and,(the),awesome )

See how you translated the similar expression in 1:15.
