UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶל־הָ⁠אִשָּׁ֑ה

to/towards the=woman

When the author says that Samson’s father went and met with the woman, he means by association that he met with her family. Alternate translation: [to speak with the woman’s family]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יַּ֨עַשׂ שָׁ֤ם שִׁמְשׁוֹן֙ מִשְׁתֶּ֔ה כִּ֛י כֵּ֥ן יַעֲשׂ֖וּ הַ⁠בַּחוּרִֽים

and=he/it_made there Shimshōn feast that/for/because/then/when yes/correct/thus/so do the,young_men

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [and since it was customary for young men who were getting married to host a feast, that is what Samson did]
