Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וְה֤וּא
and=he
The pronoun he is emphatic here, to emphasize Ishmael. Make sure that your translation refers here to Ishmael, not Yahweh. Alternate translation: “As for Ishmael, when he grows up, he”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יִהְיֶה֙ פֶּ֣רֶא אָדָ֔ם
will_belong wild_donkey humankind
The angel compares Ishmael to a wild donkey. Consider whether or not your language can use a similar metaphor or a simile here. Alternate translation: “will be proud and free like a untamed donkey” or “will be like a untamed donkey that no one can control” or “will not be ruled by anyone else”
יָד֣וֹ בַכֹּ֔ל וְיַ֥ד כֹּ֖ל בּ֑וֹ
his/its=hand in/on/at/with,everyone and,hand all in/on/over=him/it
Alternate translation: “He will be enemies with everyone.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וְעַל־פְּנֵ֥י & יִשְׁכֹּֽן
and,in face/surface_of & live
The rest of this verse forms a parallelism with the first half, emphasizing what Ishmael (and his descendants) will be like. Try to keep both parts of the parallelism in your translation, since each part has a different focus and the second part adds important information. Also, consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Yes he will even fight against”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
כָל אֶחָ֖יו
all brothers,his
The word brothers is used here to refer to relatives in general. Consider what is the best way to translate this synecdoche in your language. Alternate translation: “all of his own relatives.” or “all of his own family members.”
