UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-plural

בְ⁠תֻפִּ֖ים וּ⁠בִ⁠מְחֹל֑וֹת

in/on/at/with,tambourines and,in/on/at/with,dancing

Jephthah’s daughter was probably not carrying and playing several timbrels. The author may be using the plural forms timbrels and dances to indicate that she was leading a group of young women from the community who were together celebrating Jephthah’s victory. (This would be similar to what happens in 1 Samuel 18:6.) Alternate translation: “leading a group of women who were playing timbrels and dancing”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

בְ⁠תֻפִּ֖ים

in/on/at/with,tambourines

The term timbrels describes small percussion instruments. A timbrel is a hand-held drum that may also have pieces of metal around its sides that make sounds when a person shakes or hits the drum. If your readers would not be familiar with what a timbrel is, in your translation you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a general expression.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וְ⁠רַק֙ הִ֣יא יְחִידָ֔ה אֵֽין־ל֥⁠וֹ מִמֶּ֛⁠נּוּ בֵּ֖ן אוֹ־בַֽת

and,except she/it only_child not to=him/it from=him/it son or daughter

It might seem that this sentence contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: “And except for her, he did not have a son or daughter” or “And he did not have a son or daughter apart from her”
