uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

בַּ⁠מִּדְבָּ֣ר הַ֠⁠זֶּה יִפְּל֨וּ פִגְרֵי⁠כֶ֜ם וְ⁠כָל־פְּקֻדֵי⁠כֶם֙ לְ⁠כָל־מִסְפַּרְ⁠כֶ֔ם מִ⁠בֶּ֛ן עֶשְׂרִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וָ⁠מָ֑עְלָ⁠ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֲלִֽינֹתֶ֖ם עָלָֽ⁠י

in,wilderness the=this fall corpses_of,your(pl) and=all your(pl)_enrolled_of,[men] to/from=all/each/any/every number_of,your(pl) from,a_son_of twenty year and,upward,upwards which/who grumbled on,me

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [In this wilderness their corpses will fall and all their counted ones according to all their number, from a son of 20 years and upward, who murmured against me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יִפְּל֨וּ פִגְרֵי⁠כֶ֜ם

fall corpses_of,your(pl)

Yahweh is using your corpses will fall as a common expression of this culture to mean “you will die.” 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. Alternate translation: [you will experience death]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

יִפְּל֨וּ & וְ⁠כָל

fall & and=all

Here the word and introduces an explanation. If the connection between this statement and the previous one is not clear, you may want to use a different connecting word to show how this statement relates to what comes before it. Alternate translation: [will fall, that is, all]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠כָל־פְּקֻדֵי⁠כֶם֙

and=all your(pl)_enrolled_of,[men]

The expression counted ones is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is the Israelite leaders. See how you translated the similar phrase in [2:4](../02/04.md). Alternate translation: [and all of you whom your leaders counted]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠בֶּ֛ן עֶשְׂרִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וָ⁠מָ֑עְלָ⁠ה

from,a_son_of twenty year and,upward,upwards

The phrase from a son of 20 years and upward is a common expression of this culture that means “those who were 20 years old or older.” 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. See how you translated this phrase in [1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: [those who were 20 years old or older]
