Isa 31 V1 V2 V3 V5 V6 V7 V8 V9
OET (OET-LV) if/because thus he_has_said YHWH to_me just_as it_growls the_lion and_the_young_lion over prey_of_its that it_is_summoned on/upon/above_him/it a_multitude_of shepherds from_voice_of_their not it_is_dismayed and_from_tumult_of_their not it_cringes so he_will_come_down YHWH soldiers/messengers to_go_to_war on the_mountain_of Tsiyyōn/(Zion) and_on hill_of_its.
OET (OET-RV) Because this is what Yahweh has told me,
⇔
“As a lion growls and the young lion growls over its prey,
⇔
even if a large group of shepherds shout at it,
⇔
→ it’s not put off by their voices
⇔
≈ and it doesn’t cringe because of the commotion they make,
⇔
→ so too Commander-in-chief Yahweh will descend to go to war on Mt. Zion and its hill.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר יֶהְגֶּה֩ הָאַרְיֵ֨ה וְהַכְּפִ֜יר עַל טַרְפּ֗וֹ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִקָּרֵ֤א עָלָיו֙ מְלֹ֣א רֹעִ֔ים מִקּוֹלָם֙ לֹ֣א יֵחָ֔ת וּמֵֽהֲמוֹנָ֖ם לֹ֣א יַֽעֲנֶ֑ה
just=as growls the,lion and,the_young,lion on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in prey_of,its which/who he/it_will_be_called on/upon/above=him/it band_of shepherds from,voice_of,their not terrified and,from,tumult_of,their not disturbed
The point of this comparison is that just as a lion is undaunted by the shouts of the shepherds who come against it and it refuses to abandon its prey, so Yahweh of Armies will not be deterred from coming down to fight on Mount Zion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [As a lion that growls over its prey cannot be frightened away by the shepherds who gather against it, no matter how much they yell and make noise]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
יֶהְגֶּה֩ הָאַרְיֵ֨ה וְהַכְּפִ֜יר
growls the,lion and,the_young,lion
The terms a lion and a young lion mean similar things. Isaiah is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [a mighty lion growls]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
מְלֹ֣א
band_of
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of fullness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a large number of]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יִקָּרֵ֤א עָלָיו֙
he/it_will_be_called on/upon/above=him/it
The expression is called out against it 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: [gathers against it]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
מִקּוֹלָם֙ לֹ֣א יֵחָ֔ת
from,voice_of,their not terrified
The expression it is not frightened by their voice 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: [their voice does not frighten it]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְהַכְּפִ֜יר
and,the_young,lion
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. Alternate translation: [or a young lion growls]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
