Isaiah is using call on his name as a common expression of the culture to mean “worship him.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [worship him]

Here, his name represents “his reputation.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [his reputation is great]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl)_will_say in_the=day (the)=that give_thanks to/for=YHWH call on,name_of,his known among,peoples deeds_of,his proclaim that/for/because/then/when exalted his/its=name )

The expression his name is exalted is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [he has exalted his name]
