See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of clauses in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [that he may teach us from his ways; indeed, let us walk in his paths]

וְ⁠יֹרֵ֨⁠נוּ֙ מִ⁠דְּרָכָ֔י⁠ו

so,that,he_may_teach_us from,ways_of,his

The peoples are speaking of how Yahweh wants them to live as if his commands were his ways that a person learns to follow. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that he may teach us his commands]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה מִ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָֽם

and,the_word_of YHWH from,Jerusalem

Isaiah is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. In the second clause, the verb “will go out” is left unstated because it can be understood from the first clause. Alternate translation: [and the word of Yahweh will go out from Jerusalem]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה

and,the_word_of YHWH

Isaiah is using the term word to represent the message that Yahweh has communicated. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the message of Yahweh]
