(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when filled the=earth/land to=know DOM glory_of YHWH like,waters cover on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sea )
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: [God will fill the earth]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
לָדַ֖עַת אֶת־כְּב֣וֹד יְהוָ֑ה
to=know DOM (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when filled the=earth/land to=know DOM glory_of YHWH like,waters cover on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sea )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [with people who know how glorious Yahweh is]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
אֶת־כְּב֣וֹד יְהוָ֑ה
DOM (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when filled the=earth/land to=know DOM glory_of YHWH like,waters cover on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sea )
The author is using the possessive form to describe glory that belongs to Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh’s glory]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כַּמַּ֖יִם יְכַסּ֥וּ עַל־יָֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when filled the=earth/land to=know DOM glory_of YHWH like,waters cover on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sea )
The point of this comparison is that just as the waters completely cover over the sea, so the knowledge of Yahweh’s glory will completely fill the earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [just as water completely fills the ocean]
OET (OET-LV) If/because it_will_be_filled the_earth/land to_know DOM the_glory_of YHWH like_waters which_they_cover over the_sea.
OET (OET-RV) The world will be filled with the knowledge of Yahweh’s splendour
⇔
as surely as the oceans are filled with water.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
