OET interlinear EZEK 25:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יַ֣עַן עֲשׂ֥וֹת אֱד֛וֹם

because to_make ʼEdōm

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of doing, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Because of what Edom did]

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

בִּ⁠נְקֹ֥ם נָקָ֖ם

by,avenging_itself vengeance

Yahweh is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

וַ⁠יֶּאְשְׁמ֥וּ אָשׁ֖וֹם

and,they_have_become_guilty to_be_guilty

Yahweh is repeating forms of the verb translated as guilty in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [and they became very guilty]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠נִקְּמ֥וּ בָ⁠הֶֽם

and,they_have_avenged_themselves on,them

The pronoun they refers to the people of Edom, and the pronoun them refers to the people of Judah. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and the people of Edom took vengeance on the people of Judah]
