OET interlinear ISA 26:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יֵ֣צֶר סָמ֔וּךְ

form/conception/purpose steadfast

Here the singers are speaking as if a person’s firm resolve were something that is physically supported or held up. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [The steadfast mind]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

סָמ֔וּךְ

steadfast

The expression supported 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: [that you support]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שָׁל֣וֹם שָׁל֑וֹם

peace peace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [at peace, at peace] or [peaceful, peaceful]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

שָׁל֣וֹם שָׁל֑וֹם

peace peace

Isaiah is repeating the word peace 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: [in perfect peace]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בָּטֽוּחַ

trusts

The expression it is entrusted 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: [that mind trusts]
