uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ⁠הָיָה אִ֥ישׁ כְּ⁠מַֽחֲבֵא ר֖וּחַ וְ⁠סֵ֣תֶר זָ֑רֶם

and=it_was (a)_man like,a_hiding_place_of wind and,a_shelter_of storm

The point of this comparison is that just as a hiding place protects a person from the wind and a refuge protects a person from the storm, so this ruler will protect his people from harm. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [And a man will protect his people from harm, like a hiding place protects a person from the wind and provides a refuge from the storm]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

כְּ⁠מַֽחֲבֵא ר֖וּחַ וְ⁠סֵ֣תֶר זָ֑רֶם

like,a_hiding_place_of wind and,a_shelter_of storm

The terms a hiding place from the wind and a refuge from the storm 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: [like a refuge from the wind and the storm]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠פַלְגֵי מַ֣יִם בְּ⁠צָי֔וֹן

like,streams_of waters in,a_dry_land

The point of this comparison is that just as streams of water in the desert sustain and give life to everything around them, so this ruler will sustain and provide for his people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [like streams of water that sustain life in the desert]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠צֵ֥ל סֶֽלַע כָּבֵ֖ד בְּ⁠אֶ֥רֶץ עֲיֵפָֽה

like_[the],shadow_of rock great in=land weary

The point of this comparison is that just as the shadow of a great rock provides relief from the heat in a weary land, so this ruler will provide relief and comfort for his people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [like a great rock whose shadow gives relief to people in a dry and weary land]
