Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠חַלֵּל֙ גְּא֣וֹן כָּל צְבִ֔י

to,profane pride_of all/each/any/every glory

Isaiah is speaking as if the pride of Tyre were a sacred object that Yahweh would profane. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to dishonor all of their great pride]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

גְּא֣וֹן כָּל צְבִ֔י

pride_of all/each/any/every glory

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of pride and splendor, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [all that it gloried in and was proud of]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִכְבַּדֵּי אָֽרֶץ

honoured_of earth

The expression honored ones 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: [the ones whom the earth honored]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

נִכְבַּדֵּי אָֽרֶץ

honoured_of earth

Isaiah is using the adjective honored as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the people who were held in honor on the earth]
