Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַיַּ֣רְא גִּדְע֔וֹן
and=he/it_saw Gidˊōn
The author is using the term saw by association to mean “recognized.” Alternate translation: “And Gideon recognized”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
אֲהָהּ֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה כִּֽי־עַל־כֵּ֤ן רָאִ֨יתִי֙ מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֔ה פָּנִ֖ים אֶל־פָּנִֽים
alas my=master GOD that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so seen angel YHWH face to/towards face
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 I have seen the angel of Yahweh face to face, I am afraid that you, Lord Yahweh, are going to punish me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
אֲהָהּ֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה
alas my=master GOD
Gideon is using a word that expresses a strong feeling, fear. The ULT translates this word as Alas. There may be an equivalent word or expression in your language that you can use in your translation to convey this strong feeling. If not, you could specify that Gideon said this because he was feeling fear. Alternate translation: “Oh, no, my Lord Yahweh” or “I am afraid, my Lord Yahweh”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
פָּנִ֖ים אֶל־פָּנִֽים
face to/towards face
This is a common expression that describes seeing someone in person. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. (For example, some languages may say something such as “nose to nose.”) You could also state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “in person”
