UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְנֵֽי־יְהוּדָה֙

sons_of Yehuda

Here, sons means “descendants.” The author is describing the people of the tribe of Judah as descendants of their ancestor Judah. In context, the reference is specifically to the army of the tribe of Judah. Alternate translation: “the Judeans” or “the Judean army”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בְנֵֽי־יְהוּדָה֙

sons_of Yehuda

As in 1:4, the author is using the name Judah to represent the entire combined army. Alternate translation: “the armies of the tribes of Judah and Simeon”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ⁠יר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם וַ⁠יִּלְכְּד֣וּ אוֹתָ֔⁠הּ

in/on/at/with,Jerusalem and,captured DOM,it

Here, Jerusalem represents the people of that city. Alternate translation: “against the people who lived in Jerusalem and captured that city”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יַּכּ֖וּ⁠הָ

and,put,it

The author is speaking of the people who lived in the city of Jerusalem by association with the city itself, represented by the pronoun it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And they struck the people who lived there”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠יַּכּ֖וּ⁠הָ לְ⁠פִי־חָ֑רֶב

and,put,it to,edge sword

The author is speaking of the sword as if it were a living thing that had a mouth and could eat. This is probably a reference to the way a sword cuts into a person as if it were an animal biting him. An idea implicit in this personification is that when a sword eats, it devours everything. So this expression means “they struck it to the degree that the sword devours,” that is, they killed everyone who lived in the city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And they completely destroyed the population”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אֶת־הָ⁠עִ֖יר שִׁלְּח֥וּ בָ⁠אֵֽשׁ

and=DOM the=city set in/on/at/with,fire

The author is speaking as if the Israelites had literally sent or thrown the city of Jerusalem into a large fire that was burning nearby. (This same expression occurs in Judges 20:48.) If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they set the city on fire”
