uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לָ֭⁠מָּה פָּרַ֣צְתָּ גְדֵרֶ֑י⁠הָ וְ֝⁠אָר֗וּ⁠הָ כָּל־עֹ֥בְרֵי דָֽרֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what broken_down walls_of,its and,they,have_plucked_it all/each/any/every pass_by_of way )

In this context, the second phrase states the result of what the first phrase describes. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result of what came before. Alternate translation: [You have broken down its walls with the result that all the ones passing on the way pluck it]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָ֭⁠מָּה פָּרַ֣צְתָּ גְדֵרֶ֑י⁠הָ

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what broken_down walls_of,its and,they,have_plucked_it all/each/any/every pass_by_of way )

Asaph is using the question form to express strong emotion. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You should not have broken down its walls]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

פָּרַ֣צְתָּ גְדֵרֶ֑י⁠הָ

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what broken_down walls_of,its and,they,have_plucked_it all/each/any/every pass_by_of way )

Asaph is speaking as if Israel were a vineyard with walls that God has broken down. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [have you removed its protection]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

גְדֵרֶ֑י⁠הָ

walls_of,its

The pronoun its refers to the vine (representing Israel). It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the walls of the vine] or [our walls]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ֝⁠אָר֗וּ⁠הָ כָּל־עֹ֥בְרֵי דָֽרֶךְ

and,they,have_plucked_it (Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what broken_down walls_of,its and,they,have_plucked_it all/each/any/every pass_by_of way )

The phrase all the ones passing on the way is a generalization to emphasize how vulnerable the vine has become. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [so that many people passing by pluck it]
