UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

חִגְר֨וּ

put_on_sackcloth

Joel assumes that his listeners will know that by Dress, he means “Dress in sackcloth.” You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Dress in sackcloth”

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

לִ֣ינוּ בַ⁠שַּׂקִּ֔ים

spend_the_night in/on/at/with,sackcloth

To lodge in sackcloth is a symbolic action that expresses deep mourning and repentance. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “spend the night wearing sackcloth to show your deep sorrow and repentance”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִמְנַ֛ע מִנְחָ֥ה וָ⁠נָֽסֶךְ

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

אֱלֹהֵי⁠כֶ֖ם

God,your_all's

Since Joel and the people whom he is addressing worship the same God, it may be more natural in your language to say “our” instead of your. Languages that mark the distinction should use the inclusive form of “our.” Alternate translation: “our God”
