Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) as I live

“as surely as I am alive.” Yahweh uses this expression to show that what he says next is certainly true. This is a way of making a solemn promise. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 5:11. Alternate translation: “I solemnly swear”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) only their own lives would be rescued

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “they could only rescue their own lives”
