If it does not make sense in your language to say that someone would be attacked by someone with whom they have a covenant, that is, an ally, then you could add in the missing step of their betrayal, as in the UST.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
בְרִיתֶ֔ךָ
your_covenant_of,your
Yahweh is still addressing the people of Edom here, so the word your refers to them.
עַֽד־הַגְּב֣וּל שִׁלְּח֗וּךָ
to (Some words not found in UHB: to the,border they,will_send_you_away all men_of your_covenant_of,your they,will_deceive_you prevailed to/for=yourself(m) men_of your_peace_of,your food_of,your set trap under,you not understanding in/on/over=him/it )
Here, the border could mean: (1) It could refer to the border of the country of Edom. Alternate translation: [will force you out of your country] or (2) it could refer to the border of a formerly friendly country. Alternate translation: [will reject you from taking refuge in their country]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כֹּ֚ל אַנְשֵׁ֣י בְרִיתֶ֔ךָ & אַנְשֵׁ֣י שְׁלֹמֶ֑ךָ לַחְמְךָ֗
(Some words not found in UHB: to the,border they,will_send_you_away all men_of your_covenant_of,your they,will_deceive_you prevailed to/for=yourself(m) men_of your_peace_of,your food_of,your set trap under,you not understanding in/on/over=him/it )
All three phrases refer to Edom’s allies. Yahweh is showing that what he is saying is important by saying it more than once in similar ways.

Hebrew says simply your bread. In this poetic style, hearers and readers are expected to understand the meaning and supply the missing words The men of from the previous two lines.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / aside
אֵ֥ין תְּבוּנָ֖ה בּֽוֹ
not (Some words not found in UHB: to the,border they,will_send_you_away all men_of your_covenant_of,your they,will_deceive_you prevailed to/for=yourself(m) men_of your_peace_of,your food_of,your set trap under,you not understanding in/on/over=him/it )
This phrase could mean: (1) Yahweh is saying this as an aside to express his evaluation of the people of Edom. If this would be confusing in your language, you could continue the address to Edom in the second person, as in the UST. (2) the former allies could be saying this about Edom. Alternate translation: [Then they will say to you, ‘You are not as clever as you thought you were’]; (3) It could be referring to the trap just mentioned. Alternate translation: [and there is no perception of it]; (4) It could be referring to the shocking situation of Edom being betrayed by its allies. Alternate translation: [There is no understanding of this]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אֵ֥ין תְּבוּנָ֖ה בּֽוֹ
not (Some words not found in UHB: to the,border they,will_send_you_away all men_of your_covenant_of,your they,will_deceive_you prevailed to/for=yourself(m) men_of your_peace_of,your food_of,your set trap under,you not understanding in/on/over=him/it )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word understanding, you can express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: [He does not understand anything]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
בּֽוֹ
in/on/over=him/it
Here, him probably refers to Edom, which represents the people who live there. Alternate translation: [in the people of Edom]
