UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠לִּ⁠פְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַ⁠תֹּ֨אכַל֙

from=to/for=face/front/presence YHWH and=she/it_ate

The expression fire went out from before the face of Yahweh implies that the fire came from the direction of Yahweh’s presence in the Most Holy Place, where he lived among the Israelites. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “from Yahweh’s presence in the Most Holy Place, where he lived among the Israelites, and it consumed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וַ⁠יַּ֤רְא כָּל־הָ⁠עָם֙

and=he/it_saw all/each/any/every the,people

The expression And all the people saw is missing some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “And all the people saw how Yahweh provided the fire to consume the offering and fat on the altar” or “And all the people saw how the fire from before the face of Yahweh consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar”

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יָּרֹ֔נּוּ

and,shouted

Here, they shouted means that they cried out in joy with a loud voice. If this would not be clear in your language, consider stating the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “and they cheered loudly”

Note 4 topic: translate-symaction

וַֽ⁠יִּפְּל֖וּ עַל־ פְּנֵי⁠הֶֽם

and=they_fell on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in faces,their

To fall on one’s face is a symbolic action. As an act of reverence, honor, and submission, It refers to either: (1) bowing on one’s knees with one’s face to the ground. If your language has a similar idiom to refer to bowing with respect to authority, consider using it here. If not, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they knelt down in respect and awe with their faces toward the ground” or (2) lying flat on the ground. Alternate translation: “and they lay flat out on the ground”
