Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

אִם־אָמַרְנוּ֩ נָב֨וֹא הָ⁠עִ֜יר

if say enter the=city

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [If we say that we will enter the city] or [If we decide to enter the city]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וְ⁠עַתָּ֗ה

(Some words not found in UHB: if say enter the=city and,the,famine [is]_in,city and,we_will_die there and=if sit here and,we_will_die and=now come and,let_us_fall to/towards camp_of ʼArām if they,will_let_us_live live and=if they,will_put_us_to_death and,we_will_die )

See how you translated the same expression in [3:23](../03/23.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠נִפְּלָה֙

(Some words not found in UHB: if say enter the=city and,the,famine [is]_in,city and,we_will_die there and=if sit here and,we_will_die and=now come and,let_us_fall to/towards camp_of ʼArām if they,will_let_us_live live and=if they,will_put_us_to_death and,we_will_die )

The lepers are using let us fall as a common expression of their culture to mean “let us desert.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Samuel 29:3](../1sa/29/03.md). Alternate translation: [and let us desert]
