OET interlinear ISA 27:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲנִ֤י יְהוָה֙

I YHWH

Yahweh is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as am guarding already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that he himself is making a commitment to guard the vineyard. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [I myself, Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

פֶּ֚ן יִפְקֹ֣ד עָלֶ֔י⁠הָ לַ֥יְלָה וָ⁠י֖וֹם אֶצֳּרֶֽ⁠נָּה

lest harm on/upon=it(f) night and,day I,guard_it

Yahweh is using the word translated as Lest to introduce an outcome that he does not want to happen. Because of this, he first describes his ongoing care for the vineyard so that this will not happen. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that avoiding this outcome is the purpose of his actions.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

פֶּ֚ן יִפְקֹ֣ד עָלֶ֔י⁠הָ

lest harm on/upon=it(f)

Yahweh is using Lest one visit against it as a common expression of the culture to mean “so that no one harms it.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [So that no one harms it]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

לַ֥יְלָה וָ⁠י֖וֹם

night and,day

Yahweh is referring to all of time by naming two extremes, night and day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [continually]
