Spanish term or phrase: todo esto le tiene sin descanso
Hi. What's the translation of sin descanso please ? Thanks. I suppose it means he's very worried, doesn't let his soul be peaceful. It makes him be preoccupied, tormented, never at rest.

** todo esto le tiene a efraín sin descanso . ** porque él es el responsable de llevar el mensaje . Dios les tiene un cerco a sus familiares;efraín se siente responsable de ellos . pero Dios le dijo a efraín = sal, que a ellos no les pasara nada , ni a ellos ni a ti .

** all this has efraín in it without rest . ** because he is responsible for carrying the message . God has ( hedge of protection ? protective hedge ) surrounded his relatives; efraín feels responsible for them. but God told efraín = leave, nothing will happen to them, nor to them nor to you.

todo esto le tiene a efraín sin descanso

all this has efraín in it without rest .
all this has efraín without relief.
all this has efraín without sleep.
all this has efraín without relaxation / without his mind being at rest.

all this is keeping him restless
Explanation:
I think the term you are looking for is "restless".

One of the definitions for "restless" is worried; anxious; uneasy , which implies he is not getting rest because he is worried about something.

All this keeps Efraín awake at night


Explanation:
I think in this context it means Efraín can't rest because of what is always on his mind.

My suggestions:
'All this keeps Efraín awake at night'
'Efraín suffers from many sleepless nights because of this'

Hope it helps :)

neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: this is a very literal translation but does not work for this native as well as "troubling"

  -> Thank you for the feedback. I thought the literal translation would work very well on this occasion but yes, probably "troubling" is a better option :)
neutral  Carol Gullidge: sorry, but "keeping him restless" does not sound at all natural in EN
