UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וַ⁠יְהִ֗י

and=he/it_was

The author is using this phrase to introduce background information that is not part of the main narrative. This verse and the next verse explain how this place got the name Bokim. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל

sons_of Yisrael

See the discussion of this phrase in the General Introduction to Judges. Alternate translation: [the Israelites]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וַ⁠יִּשְׂא֥וּ הָ⁠עָ֛ם אֶת־קוֹלָ֖⁠ם וַ⁠יִּבְכּֽוּ

and,lifted_up the,people DOM voices,their and,wept

Since the author is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of voice. Alternate translation: [that the people lifted up their voices and wept]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּשְׂא֥וּ הָ⁠עָ֛ם אֶת־קוֹלָ֖⁠ם וַ⁠יִּבְכּֽוּ

and,lifted_up the,people DOM voices,their and,wept

The author is speaking as if a voice were literally something that the people of Israel could have lifted up. He means that they spoke loudly. Your language may have an expression of its own that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [that the people wept in loud voices]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יִּשְׂא֥וּ הָ⁠עָ֛ם אֶת־קוֹלָ֖⁠ם וַ⁠יִּבְכּֽוּ

and,lifted_up the,people DOM voices,their and,wept

The phrase lifted up their voice and wept conveys a single idea by using two expressions connected with and. The expression lifted up their voice tells in what way the people wept. Alternate translation: [that the people wept out loud]
