OET interlinear ISA 46:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠מִּזְרָח֙

from_[the],east

Yahweh is using the rising of the sun as a common expression of the culture to mean “the east.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from the eastern direction]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עַ֔יִט

bird_of_prey

Yahweh is speaking of the conqueror he will summon as if he were a bird of prey. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [one who will quickly defeat his enemies]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מֵ⁠אֶ֥רֶץ מֶרְחָ֖ק

from,a_land_of far

Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe a land that is characterized by being far away. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [from a faraway land]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אִ֣ישׁ עֲצָתִ֑י

(a)_man (Some words not found in UHB: calling from_[the],east bird_of_prey from,a_land_of far (a)_man my_purpose_of,my also/though spoken also/though I,will_bring_it planned also/though I,will_accomplish_it )

The implication is that this is the man whom Yahweh has chosen to carry out his plan. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the man whom I have chosen to carry out my plan]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עֲצָתִ֑י

(Some words not found in UHB: calling from_[the],east bird_of_prey from,a_land_of far (a)_man my_purpose_of,my also/though spoken also/though I,will_bring_it planned also/though I,will_accomplish_it )

See how you translated the similar expression in [46:10](../46/10.md).

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

אַף דִּבַּ֨רְתִּי֙

also/though spoken

If the connection between this statement and the previous one is not clear, you may want to use a different connecting word to show how this statement relates to what comes before it. Alternate translation: [Surely, I have spoken]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

אַף־דִּבַּ֨רְתִּי֙ אַף־אֲבִיאֶ֔⁠נָּה יָצַ֖רְתִּי אַף־אֶעֱשֶֽׂ⁠נָּה

also/though spoken also/though I,will_bring_it planned also/though I,will_accomplish_it

Yahweh is repeating the word Indeed in order to strongly intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [Surely, I have spoken; certainly, I will make it come about. I have formed it; You can be sure that I will do it]
