UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youformal

אֵלֶ֥י⁠ךָ יְהוָ֖ה אֶקְרָ֑א

to,you YHWH call

Joel is appealing to God here, so use the form of “you” that speakers of your language would use to address God.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כִּ֣י אֵ֗שׁ אָֽכְלָה֙ נְא֣וֹת מִדְבָּ֔ר

that/for/because/then/when fire eating pastures wilderness

Joel is speaking of the locusts’ destruction as if it were literally a fire consuming the pastures. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the locusts have eaten up the grass in the pastures of the wilderness”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ⁠לֶ֣הָבָ֔ה לִהֲטָ֖ה כָּל עֲצֵ֥י הַ⁠שָּׂדֶֽה

and,flames burned all/each/any/every tree/wood_of the=field

Joel is not referring to a specific flame or field. He means flames and fields in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “and flames have burned all of the trees of the fields”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠לֶ֣הָבָ֔ה לִהֲטָ֖ה כָּל עֲצֵ֥י הַ⁠שָּׂדֶֽה
