UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / collectivenouns

And a man of Ephraim was summoned, and he crossed over

(Some words not found in UHB: and,called (a)_man ʼEfrayim and,crossed zaphon,to and=they_said to,Jephthah why cross_over to,fight in/on/at/with,sons ˊAmmōn and,to,us not call to=go with,you house,your burn over,you in/on/at/with,fire )

The phrase a man of Ephraim is referring to all the fighting men of the tribe of Ephraim, not just one man. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this meaning with a plural form. Alternate translation: “The men of Ephraim were summoned, and they crossed over”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

And a man of Ephraim was summoned, and he crossed over

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “And the leaders of Ephraim summoned their men, and they crossed over”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

and he crossed over

The author assumes that his readers will understand that the Ephraimites crossed over the Jordan River. Alternate translation: “and they crossed the Jordan River”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

northward

The author is describing the Ephraimites’ travel from the perspective of their location. After crossing the Jordan River, they went northeast to Mizpah, where Jephthah was. Alternate translation: “and went to Mizpeh”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

We will burn your house over you with fire

It might seem that the expression burn … with fire contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: “We will burn down your house around you” or “We will set fire to your house with you in it”
