UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הַ⁠גֶּ֣פֶן הוֹבִ֔ישָׁה וְ⁠הַ⁠תְּאֵנָ֖ה אֻמְלָ֑לָה רִמּ֞וֹן גַּם תָּמָ֣ר וְ⁠תַפּ֗וּחַ

the,vine withers and,the,fig_tree droops pomegranate also/yet palm and,apple_tree

Joel is not referring to a specific vine, fig tree, pomegranate tree, palm tree, or apple tree. He is talking about these kinds of trees in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “The vines have dried up and the fig trees have been made weak. The pomegranate trees, also the palm trees and the apple trees”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אֻמְלָ֑לָה

droops

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: “has become weak”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הַ⁠תְּאֵנָ֖ה אֻמְלָ֑לָה

and,the,fig_tree droops

Here Joel is speaking of the fig tree as if it had been strong and now was weak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the fig tree is withered” or “the fig tree is dying”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כָּל עֲצֵ֤י הַ⁠שָּׂדֶה֙ יָבֵ֔שׁוּ

all/each/any/every tree/wood_of the=field dried_up

Joel is making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “trees of the field of every kind have dried up”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֹבִ֥ישׁ שָׂשׂ֖וֹן מִן בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם

dried_up joy from/more_than sons_of humankind

Joel is speaking of joy as if it were a liquid that had literally dried up. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “people no longer feel joyful”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם

sons_of humankind

Here the masculine terms sons and man have a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “human beings”
