UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

הָלֹ֧ךְ אֵלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֗⁠ךְ

to_go I_will_go with,you

Deborah is repeating the verb go in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. 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: “I will indeed go with you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לֹ֨א תִֽהְיֶ֜ה תִּֽפְאַרְתְּ⁠ךָ֗

not be glory,you

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of honor, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “people will not honor you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עַל־הַ⁠דֶּ֨רֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אַתָּ֣ה הוֹלֵ֔ךְ

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,road which/who you(ms) going

Deborah could be using the term way to refer to: (1) Barak’s conduct in saying he will only go if Deborah comes with him. Alternate translation: “since you have said that you will only obey Yahweh on this condition” (2) the military expedition that Barak will be leading. Alternate translation: “for leading this expedition”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כִּ֣י בְֽ⁠יַד־אִשָּׁ֔ה יִמְכֹּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־סִֽיסְרָ֑א

that/for/because/then/when in/on/at/with,hand woman/wife sell YHWH DOM Şīşərāʼ

See how you translated the similar expression in 2:14. Alternate translation: “for Yahweh will give a woman the opportunity and power to kill Sisera”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠תָּ֧קָם דְּבוֹרָ֛ה

and=she/it_arose Dəbōrāh

Here the expression arose means that Deborah took action, specifically to accompany Barak. It does not mean only that she stood up from where she was sitting beneath the palm tree. See the discussion of this usage in the General Introduction of Judges. Alternate translation: “Then Deborah got ready”
