וְהָיָ֧ה כִֽי־נִרְאָ֛ה כִּֽי־נִלְאָ֥ה מוֹאָ֖ב עַל־הַבָּמָ֑ה וּבָ֧א אֶל־מִקְדָּשׁ֛וֹ לְהִתְפַּלֵּ֖ל וְלֹ֥א יוּכָֽל
and=it_was when he/it_appeared that/for/because/then/when wearies Mōʼāⱱ on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the_high,place and,it_will_come to/towards sanctuary_of,its to=pray and=not prevail
Here, to pray marks praying as the goal or purpose of coming to the sanctuary. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose. Alternate translation: And it will happen, when it is seen that Moab is wearied on the high place,that it will come to its sanctuary for the purpose of praying, but it will not be able.
Note 2 topic: writing-newevent
וְהָיָ֧ה
and=it_was
See how you translated the similar expression in [16:2](../16/02.md).
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
כִֽי־נִרְאָ֛ה
when he/it_appeared
The expression it is seen 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: [when everyone sees]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
נִלְאָ֥ה & עַל־הַבָּמָ֑ה
wearies & on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the_high,place
The implication is that the high place is a site for pagan worship. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [is wearied on the high place, a site for pagan worship]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נִלְאָ֥ה מוֹאָ֖ב
wearies Mōʼāⱱ
The expression is wearied 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: [Moab has worn itself out]
Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns
וּבָ֧א אֶל־מִקְדָּשׁ֛וֹ
and,it_will_come to/towards sanctuary_of,its
The pronoun it refers to the nation of Moab. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the people of Moab will come to their sanctuary]
Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
וְלֹ֥א יוּכָֽל
and=not prevail
Isaiah uses the word but here to indicate a contrast between Moab coming to its sanctuary to pray and its inability to accomplish anything by praying. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [however, it will not be able.]
