UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

לֵ⁠אמֹ֜ר אֶעְבְּרָה־נָּ֣א בְ⁠אַרְצֶ֗⁠ךָ

to=say pass please in/on/at/with,land,your

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [asking for permission to pass through his land]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹ֤א שָׁמַע֙

and=not listen

The word translated as listen here is the same one that is translated as heard in 2:2 and similar contexts. As the General Introduction to Judges discusses, in these contexts the word has the specific sense of complying with what someone has said, by association with the way someone would need to hear what was said in order to obey it. Alternate translation: [But … did not consent]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠גַ֨ם אֶל־מֶ֧לֶךְ מוֹאָ֛ב שָׁלַ֖ח

and=also to/towards king Mōʼāⱱ Shalah

The messengers are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And the Israelites also sent messengers to the king of Moab requesting safe passage through his country]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֵּ֥שֶׁב יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּ⁠קָדֵֽשׁ

and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived Yisrael in/on/at/with,Kadesh

The messengers are leaving some information implicit that they assume the Ammonite king will understand. This information supports Jephthah’s claim that the Israelites did not take any territory from the Ammonites or their allies the Moabites. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [In response, the Israelites did not try to force their way through Edom or Moab. Instead, they waited in Kadesh and considered what they should do next]
