OET interlinear ISA 21:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וּ⁠שְׁאָ֧ר מִסְפַּר קֶ֛שֶׁת

and,the_remnant_of number_of archers

The Lord is using a chain of possessive forms to describe the remnant of the number of the archer. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [And the surviving archers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְנֵֽי קֵדָ֖ר

sons_of Qēdār

The Lord is speaking as if the descendants of Kedar were literally his sons. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the people of Kedar]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

כִּ֛י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל דִּבֵּֽר

that/for/because/then/when YHWH god_of Yisrael spoken

The phrase has spoken concludes Yahweh’s direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of indicating the conclusion of direct quotations in your language.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱלֹהֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

god_of Yisrael

See how you translated the similar expression in 21:10. Alternate translation: [the God whom Israel worships]
