OET (OET-LV) Therefore yes/correct/thus/so loins_of_my they_are_full anguish pangs they_have_seized_me like_the_pangs_of one_who_gives_birth I_am_bent_over from_hearing I_am_terrified from_seeing.
OET (OET-RV) That’s why my stomach tightens.
⇔
Pangs of anguish seize me like a woman giving birth.
⇔
I’m stunned by what I hear.
⇔
≈ I’m terrified by what I see.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מָלְא֤וּ מָתְנַי֙ חַלְחָלָ֔ה
filled loins_of,my anguish
Isaiah is speaking as if his loins were literally full of writhing. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am filled with intense anguish]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
צִירִ֣ים & כְּצִירֵ֖י יֽוֹלֵדָ֑ה
pangs & like_[the],pangs_of woman_in_labour
The point of this comparison is that just as the pangs of one birthing are intense and overwhelming, so is the anguish that has seized Isaiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [like the intense and overwhelming pangs of a woman giving birth]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
נַעֲוֵ֣יתִי מִשְּׁמֹ֔עַ נִבְהַ֖לְתִּי מֵרְאֽוֹת
bowed_down from,hearing dismayed from,seeing
See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of clauses in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [What I hear bends me over; indeed, what I see causes deep dismay]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
