UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / result

And there was not a deliverer, for it was far from Sidon and no thing {was} to them with man

(Some words not found in UHB: and,there_was_no deliverer that/for/because/then/when far she/it from,Sidon and,dealings not to/for=them with humankind and=she in/on/at/with,valley which/who near, רְחוֹב and,rebuilt DOM the=city and=they_lived in/on/at/with,it )

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: “Since the city was far from Sidon and it had no alliances with nearby cities or people groups, there was no one to rescue them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

and no thing {was} to them with man

See how you translated the same expression in 18:7.

Note 3 topic: writing-background

Now it {was} in the valley that {is} to Beth Rehob

The author is providing background information to help readers recognize where Laish was located. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
