UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠ל֣וֹא עָכָ֣ן בֶּן זֶ֗רַח מָ֤עַל מַ֨עַל֙ בַּ⁠חֵ֔רֶם וְ⁠עַֽל כָּל עֲדַ֥ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הָ֣יָה קָ֑צֶף

am=not ˊĀkān son_of Zeraḩ he_acted_unfaithfully unfaithfulness in/on/at/with,devoted_things and,on all/each/any/every congregation Yisrael it_became severe_anger

The western representatives are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “When Achan, the son of Zerah, acted unfaithfully in unfaithfulness with the devoted thing, wrath was on all of the assembly of Israel!”

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

מָ֤עַל מַ֨עַל֙

he_acted_unfaithfully unfaithfulness

For emphasis, the western representatives are using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “acted so unfaithfully”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

וְ⁠הוּא֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֔ד לֹ֥א גָוַ֖ע בַּ⁠עֲוֺנֽ⁠וֹ

and=he (a)_man one(ms) not perish in/on/at/with,iniquity,his

The western representatives are expressing a positive meaning by using a negative word, note, together with a term that is the opposite of their intended meaning, one. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Many other people died because of his iniquity”
