Assuming the quote has a typo ("untrenger" s/b "umtrenger").
The immediate context is "tha umtrenger.", where "tha" seems to be an older form of modern "då".
This "då" would probably be "when" in English, given the context.
We seem to be looking for something in the form "when x."
According to this page in SAOB, "omtränga" means "behövas", to be required
"i uttr. ngt omtränger, något behövs"
