UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

רְד֞וּ

come_down

In a context such as this, your language might say “Go” instead of Come. Alternate translation: [Go down]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶת־הַ⁠מַּ֔יִם עַ֛ד בֵּ֥ית בָּרָ֖ה וְ⁠אֶת־הַ⁠יַּרְדֵּ֑ן

DOM the=waters until house_of -barah and=DOM the,Jordan

The messengers are using the word waters by association to mean the shallow places where people can cross rivers and streams. Your language may have a term for such places. Alternate translation: [the fords of the streams in the area of Beth Barah and the fords of the Jordan]

Note 3 topic: translate-names

בֵּ֥ית בָּרָ֖ה

house_of -barah

The term Beth Barah is the name of a town.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּצָּעֵ֞ק כָּל־אִ֤ישׁ אֶפְרַ֨יִם֙

and,called_out all/each/any/every (a)_man ʼEfrayim

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: [So the messengers summoned all of the men of Ephraim]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּצָּעֵ֞ק כָּל־אִ֤ישׁ אֶפְרַ֨יִם֙

and,called_out all/each/any/every (a)_man ʼEfrayim

The author means implicitly that the messengers summoned every man who was able to fight as a solider. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [So the messengers summoned all the fighting men of Ephraim]
