uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ק֣וֹל קוֹרֵ֔א

sound/voice calling

Isaiah is using A voice to represent the person who is calling out. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Someone is calling out]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ק֣וֹל קוֹרֵ֔א בַּ⁠מִּדְבָּ֕ר פַּנּ֖וּ דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֑ה יַשְּׁרוּ֙ בָּ⁠עֲרָבָ֔ה מְסִלָּ֖ה לֵ⁠אלֹהֵֽי⁠נוּ

sound/voice calling in,wilderness prepare road/way_of YHWH make_straight in,plain highway for,God_of,our

See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of clauses in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [Make a road through the wilderness so that Yahweh and our God may come]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בַּ⁠מִּדְבָּ֕ר פַּנּ֖וּ דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֑ה

in,wilderness prepare road/way_of YHWH

Here the speaker is speaking of preparing for Yahweh to come to his people as if people were building and clearing a road for a king to travel on. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Make the road ready for Yahweh to come through the wilderness]

OET (OET-LV) a_voice is_calling in_wilderness make_clear the_way_of YHWH make_straight in_plain a_highway for_god_of_our.

OET (OET-RV)  ⇔  A voice calls out in the wilderness[fn] to clear the path for Yahweh.
 ⇔  Make a straight road in the Aravah plain for our god.

40:3 It’s unclear from the Hebrew if the voice is in the wilderness, or if the path is in the wilderness.

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.
