UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

אַל תִּֽירְאוּ֙ בַּהֲמ֣וֹת שָׂדַ֔י

not fear animals field

Joel is once again speaking to the beasts of the field as if they were people who could hear him. He is doing this to show his Judean listeners in a strong way how he feels about what Yahweh will do for them by restoring the pastures and the trees. If your readers might not understand this kind of figurative speech, you could translate what Joel is saying as if he were speaking directly to the Judeans. Alternate translation: “You Judeans should also not be afraid of what will happen to the beasts of the field”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

דָשְׁא֖וּ נְא֣וֹת מִדְבָּ֑ר כִּֽי עֵץ֙ נָשָׂ֣א פִרְי֔⁠וֹ תְּאֵנָ֥ה וָ⁠גֶ֖פֶן נָתְנ֥וּ חֵילָֽ⁠ם

green pastures wilderness that/for/because/then/when tree/word bears fruit,its fig_tree and,vine yield riches,their

Joel is using the past tense to describe something that is going to happen in the future in order to show that the event will certainly happen. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use the future tense. Alternate translation: “the pastures of the wilderness will sprout, for the tree will bear its fruit, the fig tree and the vine will yield their strength”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

עֵץ֙ נָשָׂ֣א פִרְי֔⁠וֹ תְּאֵנָ֥ה וָ⁠גֶ֖פֶן נָתְנ֥וּ חֵילָֽ⁠ם

tree/word bears fruit,its fig_tree and,vine yield riches,their

Joel is not referring to a specific tree, fig tree, or vine. He is referring to these plants in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “the trees have borne their fruit, the fig trees and the vines have yielded their strength”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

חֵילָֽ⁠ם

riches,their

Joel is using the term strength to mean the harvest, by association with the way the land has the capacity to produce crops. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “their harvest”
