OET interlinear ISA 46:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

קָרְס֤וּ כָֽרְעוּ֙ יַחְדָּ֔ו

stoop bow_down together

The terms stooped and bowed down 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: [They completely bowed down together]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

קָרְס֤וּ

stoop

The pronoun They refers to the idols of Bel and Nebo. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [The idols of Bel and Nebo stooped]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹ֥א יָכְל֖וּ מַלֵּ֣ט מַשָּׂ֑א

not are_~_able rescue burden

The implication is that these gods could not even save their own images, which are the burden being carried away. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [they were not able to rescue even their own images]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠נַפְשָׁ֖⁠ם & הָלָֽכָה

and,self_of,their & go

Isaiah is speaking as if these idols each had a soul, and he is using that part of them to mean all of them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and they have gone]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בַּ⁠שְּׁבִ֥י

in,captivity

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of captivity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [away as captives]
