uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει, ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη τήν γενεάν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται Ὅτι αἴρεται ἀπό τῆς γῆς ἡ ζωή αὐτοῦ)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of humiliation and justice, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [Because he acted humbly and did not defend himself, his enemies were able to treat him unjustly]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη

the justice ˱of˲_him ˓was˒_taken_away

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [his enemies denied him justice]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη τήν γενεάν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται Ὅτι αἴρεται ἀπό τῆς γῆς ἡ ζωή αὐτοῦ)

Isaiah is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [No one will describe his generation.]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη τήν γενεάν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται Ὅτι αἴρεται ἀπό τῆς γῆς ἡ ζωή αὐτοῦ)

Isaiah is using a future statement to describe capability. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use form that is more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Who can describe his generation?] or [No one will be able to describe his generation.]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη τήν γενεάν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται Ὅτι αἴρεται ἀπό τῆς γῆς ἡ ζωή αὐτοῦ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of generation, you could express the same idea in another way. This could mean: (1) that no one will be able to describe the Messiah’s descendants because he will die without having any children. Alternate translation: [No one will be able to describe his descendants.]; (2) that no one will be able to describe the other people living at the same time as the Messiah because they will be so wicked. Alternate translation: [No one will be able to describe how wicked his contemporaries are.]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [his enemies will take his life from the earth]
