Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠אִישׁ֙ יִגַּ֣ע בָּ⁠הֶ֔ם יִמָּלֵ֥א בַרְזֶ֖ל וְ⁠עֵ֣ץ חֲנִ֑ית

and,anyone (Some words not found in UHB: and,anyone touches (is)_in=them armed iron and=tree spear and,with,fire to_burn they_are_burnt at,dwelling )

The expression will be filled 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. Alternate translation: [But the man who touches them will fill his hand with iron or the wood of a spear]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אִישׁ֙ יִגַּ֣ע בָּ⁠הֶ֔ם יִמָּלֵ֥א בַרְזֶ֖ל וְ⁠עֵ֣ץ חֲנִ֑ית

and,anyone (Some words not found in UHB: and,anyone touches (is)_in=them armed iron and=tree spear and,with,fire to_burn they_are_burnt at,dwelling )

The author is using filled with iron or the wood of a spear as a common expression of his culture to mean “will need to use an iron tool or spear shaft to handle them.” 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: [But a man will only touch them with an iron tool or spear shaft that he is holding]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠עֵ֣ץ חֲנִ֑ית

and=tree spear

Here, wood of a spear represents the shaft or handle of a spear. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [or the shaft of a spear]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

שָׂר֥וֹף יִשָּׂרְפ֖וּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,anyone touches (is)_in=them armed iron and=tree spear and,with,fire to_burn they_are_burnt at,dwelling )

The author is repeating forms of the verb burned 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: [And they will surely be burned]

בַּ⁠שָּֽׁבֶת

(Some words not found in UHB: and,anyone touches (is)_in=them armed iron and=tree spear and,with,fire to_burn they_are_burnt at,dwelling )

The author is using in place as a common expression of his culture to mean “where they are, without moving them.” 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.
