that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_said YHWH to/for=them
The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [This was because Yahweh had said to them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מ֥וֹת יָמֻ֖תוּ בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר
to_die they_would_die in,wilderness
The implication is that Yahweh had declared this when the Israelites refused to enter the land of Canaan, as an earlier chapter describes. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Dying, they shall die in the wilderness because they refused to enter the land of Canaan]

וְלֹא־נוֹתַ֤ר מֵהֶם֙ אִ֔ישׁ כִּ֚י אִם־כָּלֵ֣ב בֶּן־יְפֻנֶּ֔ה וִיהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ בִּן־נֽוּן
and=not left from=them (a)_man that/for/because/then/when if Kālēⱱ/(Caleb) son_of Yəfunneh/(Jephunneh) and,Joshua son_of Nūn
If it would appear in your language that the author was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [And only Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun were left from them]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְלֹא נוֹתַ֤ר מֵהֶם֙ אִ֔ישׁ
and=not left from=them (a)_man
The expression was not left is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And not a man from them remained]
Note 5 topic: translate-names
בֶּן־יְפֻנֶּ֔ה וִיהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ בִּן־נֽוּן
son_of Yəfunneh/(Jephunneh) and,Joshua son_of Nūn
The words Jephunneh and Nun are the names of men.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
מ֥וֹת יָמֻ֖תוּ
to_die they_would_die
Yahweh is repeating forms of the verb die in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [They shall certainly die]
OET-LV If/because YHWH he_had_said to/for_them surely_(die) they_will_die in_wilderness and_not he_was_left from_them anyone if/because (if) Kālēⱱ/(Caleb) the_son_of Yəfunneh/(Jephunneh) and_Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) the_son_of Nūn.
OET (OET-RV) because Yahweh had told them that they’d certainly die there in the wilderness until none of those alive were left other than Yefuneh’s son Kalev (Caleb) and Nun’s son Yehoshua (Joshua).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
