OET interlinear ISA 21:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מְדֻשָׁתִ֖⁠י וּ⁠בֶן גָּרְנִ֑⁠י

my_threshed_one_of,my and,the_son_of my_threshing_floor_of,my

Isaiah is speaking as if his people were grain on a threshing floor. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [My people who have been crushed like grain]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠בֶן גָּרְנִ֑⁠י

and,the_son_of my_threshing_floor_of,my

Isaiah is using son of as a common expression of the culture to indicate that a person has a certain characteristic. In this case, Isaiah’s people have the characteristic of belonging to his threshing floor, meaning they are his own people who have endured severe oppression similar to what happens to grain that is being threshed. If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and the people of my threshing floor] or [and my severely oppressed people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

god_of Yisrael

Isaiah is not using this possessive form the God of Israel to indicate that the Israelites possess or control Yahweh. Rather Moses is using these words to indicate that Yahweh is the God whom the Israelites worship. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, the God whom Israel worships]
