OET interlinear ISA 42:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

רָצְתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑⁠י

delights self_of,my

Here, my soul represents Yahweh himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [I delight in him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בְּחִירִ֖⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: if servant_of,my uphold in/on/over=him/it one_of,my_chosen delights self_of,my I_give my=breath/wind/spirit on/upon/above=him/it justice to,nations bring_forth )

God 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: [behold my chosen one]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נָתַ֤תִּי רוּחִ⁠י֙ עָלָ֔י⁠ו

I_give my=breath/wind/spirit on/upon/above=him/it

Here Yahweh is speaking as if his Spirit were an object that he could place on Isaiah. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I have empowered him with my Spirit]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Here, the nations represents the people who live in those nations. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [he will bring forth justice to the people who live in those nations]
