The men of Judah are repeating the verbs bind and put to death in order to intensify the ideas that they express. 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 emphasis. Alternate translation: “we will definitely bind you ... we will certainly not put you to death”

וַיַּאַסְרֻ֗הוּ בִּשְׁנַ֙יִם֙ עֲבֹתִ֣ים חֲדָשִׁ֔ים

The author assumes that readers will know that the men of Judah used new ropes because they were strong and not worn out. The next verse indicates that they used one rope for Samson’s hands and another for his arms. Alternate translation: “Then they tied his hands together with one new, strong rope and they tied his arms together with another new, strong rope”
