OET interlinear ISA 48:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לְמַעֲנִ֧⁠י

for,my_own_sake

The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what comes after it. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what comes after it. Alternate translation: [I will do this for my sake, for my sake, because my name must not be profaned. And I will not give my glory to another]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

לְמַעֲנִ֧⁠י לְמַעֲנִ֛⁠י

for,my_own_sake for,my_own_sake

Yahweh is repeating the phrase For my sake in order to 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 for my sake]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

כִּ֣י אֵ֣יךְ יֵחָ֑ל

that/for/because/then/when how profaned

Yahweh is using the question form to emphasize that he will not allow his name to be dishonored. 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: [I will not allow my name to be profaned!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אֵ֣יךְ יֵחָ֑ל

how profaned

The expression be profaned is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [how should anyone profane my name]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠כְבוֹדִ֖⁠י לְ⁠אַחֵ֥ר לֹֽא אֶתֵּֽן

and,glory_of,my to,another not give

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [And I will not let another receive the honor that belongs to me]
