UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness

אֶשְׁאֲלָ֤ה מִ⁠כֶּם֙ שְׁאֵלָ֔ה

I_will_request of,you_all request

To make his request politely, Gideon is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express a polite request. Alternatively, your language may have another way of doing that. Alternate translation: [I just have one small thing that I would like to ask of you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אִ֖ישׁ

(a)_man

Gideon is not referring to a specific man. He means each man in the army. Alternate translation: [each one of you]

Note 3 topic: writing-background

כִּֽי־נִזְמֵ֤י זָהָב֙ לָ⁠הֶ֔ם כִּ֥י יִשְׁמְעֵאלִ֖ים הֵֽם

that/for/because/then/when earrings_of gold to/for=them that/for/because/then/when Ishmaelites they

Here the author is providing background information to help readers understand what is happening in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּֽי־נִזְמֵ֤י זָהָב֙ לָ⁠הֶ֔ם כִּ֥י יִשְׁמְעֵאלִ֖ים הֵֽם

that/for/because/then/when earrings_of gold to/for=them that/for/because/then/when Ishmaelites they

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: [For since they were Ishmaelites, they were wearing golden earrings]
