Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

and,stretch_out his/its=hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in north and,destroy DOM Assyria

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. You may wish to include both phrases in your translation, but it may be clearer in your language to connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “And he will stretch out his hand against the north; yes, he will destroy Assyria”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠יֵ֤ט יָד⁠וֹ֙

and,stretch_out his/its=hand

See how you translated the expression “I will stretch out my hand” in 1:4. Alternate translation: “And he will use his power”

north

Zephaniah is using the term north by association to mean the empire that was located to the north of Judah, Assyria, as he indicates later in a parallel phrase. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the empire that is north of here”
