יְהוָ֛ה מָסַ֥ךְ בְּ⁠קִרְבָּ֖⁠הּ ר֣וּחַ עִוְעִ֑ים

YHWH mixed in,midst_of,its spirit_of confusion

Here Isaiah is speaking as if confusion were a drink that Yahweh has mixed in the midst of Egypt. He means that Yahweh has caused the Egyptians to become confused. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh has filled its midst with a spirit of confusion]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ר֣וּחַ עִוְעִ֑ים

spirit_of confusion

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of confusion, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a confusing spirit]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠הִתָּע֥וֹת שִׁכּ֖וֹר בְּ⁠קִיאֽ⁠וֹ

as,is_made_to_stagger drunkard in,vomit_of,his

The point of this comparison is that just as a drunkard staggers about helplessly in his own vomit, so Egypt’s leaders cause the nation to stumble about in confusion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [as a drunkard staggers helplessly in his vomit]
