Here, your hand is high represents Yahweh’s power being displayed and ready to act. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [your power is ready for you to act]

בַּל יֶחֱזָי֑וּ⁠ן

not they,behold

The pronoun they refers to the wicked people who oppose Yahweh. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the wicked do not perceive it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

יֶחֱז֤וּ וְ⁠יֵבֹ֨שׁוּ֙

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

קִנְאַת עָ֔ם

zeal_of people

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of zeal, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [at how zealously you care for your people]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

קִנְאַת עָ֔ם

zeal_of people

Isaiah is using the possessive form to describe a zeal that is directed toward the people, that is, Yahweh’s passionate concern for his people. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [for your passionate concern for your people]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֵ֖שׁ צָרֶ֥י⁠ךָ תֹאכְלֵֽ⁠ם

fire_of your(pl)_foes_of,your it,will_consume_them

Here Isaiah is speaking as if Yahweh’s judgment against his enemies were fire that will consume them. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your judgment against your enemies will destroy them]
