OET interlinear ISA 47:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וַ⁠תִּבְטְחִ֣י

and,you_trusted

Yahweh uses the word But here to indicate a contrast between the judgment he has just announced and Babylon’s confidence in her own wickedness and wisdom. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [However, you trusted]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְ⁠רָעָתֵ֗⁠ךְ

in,evil_of,your

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wickedness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in your wicked deeds]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

חָכְמָתֵ֥⁠ךְ וְ⁠דַעְתֵּ֖⁠ךְ הִ֣יא שׁוֹבְבָ֑תֶ⁠ךְ

wisdom_of,your and,knowledge_of,your she/it it,has_led_you_away

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about Your wisdom and your knowledge with the information about how it led you astray. Alternate translation: [Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חָכְמָתֵ֥⁠ךְ וְ⁠דַעְתֵּ֖⁠ךְ

wisdom_of,your and,knowledge_of,your

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of wisdom and knowledge, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [How wise you are and what you know]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

חָכְמָתֵ֥⁠ךְ וְ⁠דַעְתֵּ֖⁠ךְ

wisdom_of,your and,knowledge_of,your

The terms wisdom and knowledge mean similar things. Yahweh 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: [Your great wisdom]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הִ֣יא שׁוֹבְבָ֑תֶ⁠ךְ

she/it it,has_led_you_away

Yahweh is using it led you astray as a common expression of the culture to mean “it caused you to make a serious mistake.” 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: [it caused you to make a serious mistake]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠תֹּאמְרִ֣י בְ⁠לִבֵּ֔⁠ךְ

and,you_said in,heart_of,your

Here, heart represents “inner thoughts.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and you said in your mind]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אַפְסִ֥⁠י עֽוֹד

and,only_of,I again/more

See how you translated the similar expression in [47:8](../47/08.md).
