OET interlinear EZEK 17:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) All of his refugees … armies will fall by the sword

(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM all/each/any/every מברח,ו in=all troops_of,his by,sword fall and,[those,who]_survive to/from=all/each/any/every wind scattered and,you(pl)_will_know that/for/because/then/when I YHWH spoken )

The word “fall” is a euphemism for “die.” Here the word “sword” is a metonym for soldiers who kill people with swords. Alternate translation: [Soldiers will kill all his refugees … armies]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) the ones who remain will be scattered in every direction

(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM all/each/any/every מברח,ו in=all troops_of,his by,sword fall and,[those,who]_survive to/from=all/each/any/every wind scattered and,you(pl)_will_know that/for/because/then/when I YHWH spoken )

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: [the ones who remain alive will flee in every direction] or [the enemy soldiers will scatter in every directions the ones who remain alive]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) know that I am Yahweh

(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM all/each/any/every מברח,ו in=all troops_of,his by,sword fall and,[those,who]_survive to/from=all/each/any/every wind scattered and,you(pl)_will_know that/for/because/then/when I YHWH spoken )

When Yahweh says that people will know that he is Yahweh, he is implying that they will know that he is the one true God who has supreme authority and power. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 6:7. Alternate translation: [understand that I am Yahweh, the one true God] or [realize that I, Yahweh, have supreme power and authority]
