ClVg Et respondit ad eos Naas Ammonites: In hoc feriam vobiscum fœdus, ut eruam omnium vestrum oculos dextros, ponamque vos opprobrium in universo Israël.[fn]
(And answered to them Naas Ammonites: In this feriam with_you covenant, as I_will_rescue of_all of_you the_eyes dextros, I_will_putque you reproach in/into/on in_the_universe Israel. )

11.2 Et respondit. Bellum Naas, bellum hæreticorum contra Ecclesiam significat. Naas interpretatur serpens, Ammon comprimens vel coangustans, vel populus mœroris. Jabes exsiccata; Galaad acervus testimonii; Naas ergo significat serpentem antiquum, qui est princeps Ammonitarum, id est hæreticorum. Hic est enim populus mœroris, qui non habet gaudium Spiritus sancti, qui disponit fœdus cum populo Ecclesiæ, ut eruat oculos dextros, visum scilicet sanæ orthodoxæ fidei. Sinistrum relinquit oculum, ut scilicet prava tantum sentiat. Sed mens fidelium exsiccata a sorde vitiorum, acervum testimonii, id est, scientias sanctæ Scripturæ congerit, quibus viriliter resistat hosti.

Here/This it_is because the_people sorrowful, who not/no has gaudium Spirit sancti, who disponit covenant when/with to_the_people Assemblies/Churches, as eruat the_eyes dextros, sight namely sanæ orthodoxæ of_faith. Sinistrum leaves oculum, as namely prava only sentiat. But mind faithful exsiccata from sorde spoil/with_faultrum, heap testimonii, id it_is, knowledge/skills sanctæ Scripturæ congerit, to_whom manly resistat hosti.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אֶכְרֹ֣ת לָ⁠כֶ֔ם

make_a_treaty to/for=you_all

Nahash is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [I will cut a covenant for you]

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

בִּ⁠נְק֥וֹר לָ⁠כֶ֖ם כָּל־עֵ֣ין יָמִ֑ין

in/on/at/with,gouge_out to/for=you_all all/each/any/every eye_of right

Gouging out the right eye was, for one thing, a military measure that would make the men of Jabesh Gilead less effective warriors, since they would have difficulty seeing to aim weapons. However, as Nahash himself explains, it would also be a symbolic action that would show other nations that the Israelites had not been able to defend their own people. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [in the disgraceful and disabling gouging of every right eye of you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠שַׂמְתִּ֥י⁠הָ חֶרְפָּ֖ה עַל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

and,bring,it disgrace on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every Yisrael

Nahash assumes that the elders of Jabesh Gilead will understand that by gouging out the eyes of the people of one Israelite city, Nahash would humiliate the entire nation. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And this will show all other nations how powerless the Israelites are]
