OET interlinear ISA 46:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

יִ֠שָּׂאֻ⁠הוּ

they,lift_it_up

The pronoun They refers to the people who make and worship the idol. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [The people who make the idol lift it]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠יַֽעֲמֹ֔ד מִ⁠מְּקוֹמ֖⁠וֹ לֹ֣א יָמִ֑ישׁ

and,it_stands from,place_of,its not move

Isaiah is speaking of the idol as if it were a living thing that could stand and depart. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and it remains there; it does not move from its place]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

אַף יִצְעַ֤ק אֵלָי⁠ו֙

also/though cries_out to=him/it

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: [And one cries out to it]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ⁠לֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֔ה

and=not answer

Isaiah uses the word but here to indicate a contrast between all that people do to set up and call upon the idol and the idol’s complete inability to answer or save them. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [yet it does not answer]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִ⁠צָּרָת֖⁠וֹ

from,trouble_of,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of trouble, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [from the difficult situation he is in]
