MSGGod Is a Safe Hiding Place
(1-3) “In those days, yes, at that very time
  when I put life back together again for Judah and Jerusalem,
I’ll assemble all the godless nations.
  I’ll lead them down into Judgment Valley
And put them all on trial, and judge them one and all
  because of their treatment of my own people Israel.
They scattered my people all over the pagan world
  and grabbed my land for themselves.
They threw dice for my people
  and used them for barter.
They would trade a boy for a whore,
  sell a girl for a bottle of wine when they wanted a drink.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

כִּ֗י הִנֵּ֛ה בַּ⁠יָּמִ֥ים הָ⁠הֵ֖מָּה וּ⁠בָ⁠עֵ֣ת הַ⁠הִ֑יא

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was after so pour_out DOM my=breath/wind/spirit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every flesh/meat and,prophesy sons_of,your_all's and,daughters_of,your_all's old_of,your_all's dreams dream, young_men_of,your_all's visions see )

This verse continues a direct quotation from Yahweh. You may wish to indicate that in your translation, using a natural way of continuing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [Yahweh also said, “For behold, in those days and at that time]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כִּ֗י הִנֵּ֛ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was after so pour_out DOM my=breath/wind/spirit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every flesh/meat and,prophesy sons_of,your_all's and,daughters_of,your_all's old_of,your_all's dreams dream, young_men_of,your_all's visions see )

Yahweh is using the term behold to focus his listeners’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [Now look] or [Now listen]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

בַּ⁠יָּמִ֥ים הָ⁠הֵ֖מָּה וּ⁠בָ⁠עֵ֣ת הַ⁠הִ֑יא

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was after so pour_out DOM my=breath/wind/spirit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every flesh/meat and,prophesy sons_of,your_all's and,daughters_of,your_all's old_of,your_all's dreams dream, young_men_of,your_all's visions see )

The expressions in those days and at that time mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two expressions together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [when that wonderful time comes]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָשִׁ֛יב אֶת־שְׁב֥וּת יְהוּדָ֖ה וִ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was after so pour_out DOM my=breath/wind/spirit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every flesh/meat and,prophesy sons_of,your_all's and,daughters_of,your_all's old_of,your_all's dreams dream, young_men_of,your_all's visions see )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of captivity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem]

Note 5 topic: translate-textvariants

אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָשִׁ֛יב אֶת־שְׁב֥וּת יְהוּדָ֖ה וִ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was after so pour_out DOM my=breath/wind/spirit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every flesh/meat and,prophesy sons_of,your_all's and,daughters_of,your_all's old_of,your_all's dreams dream, young_men_of,your_all's visions see )

See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter of an alternate reading for this phrase. Alternate translation: [when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem]
