קְרָ֨א & בְּ⁠אָזְנֵ֤י הָ⁠עָם֙ לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר מִֽי־יָרֵ֣א וְ⁠חָרֵ֔ד יָשֹׁ֥ב וְ⁠יִצְפֹּ֖ר מֵ⁠הַ֣ר הַ⁠גִּלְעָ֑ד

proclaim & in/on/at/with,hearing the,troops to=say who? fearing and,trembling return and,leave from=hill the,Gilead

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “proclaim in the ears of the people that anyone who is afraid or trembling may turn back and depart from Mount Gilead”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בְּ⁠אָזְנֵ֤י הָ⁠עָם֙

in/on/at/with,hearing the,troops

Yahweh is using one part of Gideon’s soldiers, their ears, to mean all of them in the act of hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “loudly so that the people can hear”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

יָרֵ֣א וְ⁠חָרֵ֔ד

fearing and,trembling

The terms afraid and trembling mean similar things. Yahweh wants Gideon to use the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “is trembling with fear” or “is very afraid”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

מֵ⁠הַ֣ר הַ⁠גִּלְעָ֑ד

from=hill the,Gilead

See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter for a suggestion of how to translate this name in this context.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִשְׁאָֽרוּ

remained

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: “remained”
