OET interlinear ISA 42:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִֽי נָתַ֨ן לִמְשִׁסָּ֧ה יַעֲקֹ֛ב וְ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל לְ⁠בֹזְזִ֖ים

who? he/it_gave (Some words not found in UHB: who? he/it_gave ל,משוסה Yaakob and,Israel to,[those_who]_despoil am=not YHWH whom sinned to=him/it and=not would in,ways_of,his walk and=not obey to,law_of,his )

Isaiah is using the question form to lead his readers to acknowledge that it was Yahweh who handed Israel over to its enemies. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Jacob was given to the looter and Israel to the plunderers!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠ל֣וֹא יְהוָ֑ה

am=not YHWH

Isaiah is using the question form to emphasize that it was indeed Yahweh who did this. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [It was indeed Yahweh]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ז֚וּ חָטָ֣אנוּ ל֔⁠וֹ

whom sinned to=him/it

The pronoun him refers back to Yahweh, the same person referred to by the word whom earlier in the sentence. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [against whom we sinned]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

חָטָ֣אנוּ ל֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠לֹֽא אָב֤וּ

sinned to=him/it and=not would

Here Isaiah shifts from the pronoun we to the pronoun they, but both refer to the people of Israel. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [they sinned against him, and they were not willing] or [we sinned against him, and we were not willing]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בִ⁠דְרָכָי⁠ו֙ הָל֔וֹךְ

in,ways_of,his walk

Here Isaiah is speaking of obeying Yahweh as if it were walking in his ways, traveling along the roads that he marks out. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to live as he commanded]
