UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

שָׂ֤ם גַּפְנִ⁠י֙ לְ⁠שַׁמָּ֔ה וּ⁠תְאֵנָתִ֖⁠י לִ⁠קְצָפָ֑ה

laid vine,my to,waste and,fig_tree,my to,splintered

Since Joel and the people whom he is addressing eat the same crops, it may be more natural in your language to say “our” instead of my. Alternate translation: “It has made our vines into a waste and our fig trees into splinters”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שָׂ֤ם גַּפְנִ⁠י֙ לְ⁠שַׁמָּ֔ה

laid vine,my to,waste

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of waste, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “It has laid waste my vine” or “It has ruined my vine”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

חָשֹׂ֤ף חֲשָׂפָ⁠הּ֙

to_strip_off stripped_~_bare,their

Joel is repeating the verb “strip” in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “It has stripped it completely”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הִשְׁלִ֔יךְ

and,thrown_~_down

Joel is speaking as if the locusts had literally thrown … away the vegetation they had finished eating. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “spit it out”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הִלְבִּ֖ינוּ שָׂרִיגֶֽי⁠הָ

turned_white branches,their

Joel is using the term have become white to mean that the branches have been stripped of their bark, by association with the way the wood underneath the bark is white in color. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “its branches have been stripped of their bark”
