OET interlinear ISA 24:16

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

לַ⁠צַּדִּ֔יק

[belongs]_to,[one]

Isaiah is using the adjective Righteous as a noun to refer to God, who is righteous. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [to God, who is righteous]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

רָזִי לִ֥⁠י רָֽזִי לִ֖⁠י א֣וֹי לִ֑⁠י

waste_away to=me waste_away to=me woe to=me

Isaiah is using a phrase that expresses a strong feeling, distress and despair over the treachery he witnesses. There may be an equivalent word or phrase in your language that you can use in your translation to convey this feeling. Alternate translation: [I am utterly ruined! I am utterly ruined! How terrible it is for me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

רָזִי־לִ֥⁠י רָֽזִי־לִ֖⁠י

waste_away to=me waste_away to=me

Isaiah is repeating the phrase Leanness to me in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [I am utterly wasted away!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רָזִי לִ֥⁠י

waste_away to=me

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of Leanness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [I am becoming lean] or [I pine away]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

בֹּגְדִ֣ים בָּגָ֔דוּ וּ⁠בֶ֥גֶד בּוֹגְדִ֖ים בָּגָֽדוּ

treacherous deal_treacherously and,treachery treacherous deal_treacherously

Isaiah is repeating forms of the verb acted treacherously in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [The treacherous ones have acted treacherously, yes, the treacherous ones have acted treacherously with great treachery] or [Deceit prevails, and treachery abounds]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
