UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

For a great oath had been against whoever did not go up to Yahweh {at} Mizpah, saying

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said sons_of Yisrael who? which/who not come_up in/on/at/with,assembly from=all tribes Yisrael to/towards YHWH that/for/because/then/when the,oath the,solemn she/it_was concerning,whoever not come_up to/towards YHWH the,Mizpah to=say to_die he_must_die )

The author is speaking of an oath as if it were a living thing that could have spoken the words he quotes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “For the people had sworn a great oath against whoever did not go up to Yahweh at Mizpah. They had said”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

Dying, he shall be caused to die

The oath repeats the verb die in order to intensify the expression of that idea. 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 intensification. Alternate translation: “He shall certainly be caused to die”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

Dying, he shall be caused to die

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: “We shall certainly put him to death”
