UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

גַּם־אַתֶּ֣ם כּוּשִׁ֔ים

also/yet you_all Ⱪūshiytes

This verse is a direct quotation from Yahweh. You may wish to indicate that in your translation by using a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “Yahweh also declares, ‘You, Cushites’”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

חַֽלְלֵ֥י חַרְבִּ֖⁠י הֵֽמָּה

slain sword,my they(emph)

Yahweh is speaking about the Cushites in the third person, but since he is addressing them directly, it may be more natural in your language to translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: “you will be pierced by my sword”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

חַֽלְלֵ֥י חַרְבִּ֖⁠י הֵֽמָּה

slain sword,my they(emph)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “my sword will pierce you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

חַֽלְלֵ֥י חַרְבִּ֖⁠י הֵֽמָּה

slain sword,my they(emph)

Yahweh is speaking as if he were literally going to pierce or kill the Cushites with a sword. He means that he is going to cause an enemy army to kill many of them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “an enemy army will kill many of you”
