OET interlinear ISA 48:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

הִקָּבְצ֤וּ כֻלְּ⁠כֶם֙ וּֽ⁠שֲׁמָ֔עוּ

assemble of_you_of,all and,listen

The commands Gather and hear are plural, as the phrase all of you shows, because Yahweh is addressing a group of people. If your language distinguishes singular and plural command forms, use plural forms here.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֥י בָ⁠הֶ֖ם הִגִּ֣יד אֶת אֵ֑לֶּה

who? in/among=them he/it_told DOM these

Yahweh is using the question form to emphasize that none of the idols predicted these things. 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: [None of them declared these things!]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

מִ֥י בָ⁠הֶ֖ם הִגִּ֣יד אֶת אֵ֑לֶּה

who? in/among=them he/it_told DOM these

The pronoun them refers to the idols and false gods of the nations. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Who among the idols declared these]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יַעֲשֶׂ֤ה חֶפְצ⁠וֹ֙ בְּ⁠בָבֶ֔ל

he/it_made/did pleasure_of,his on,Babylon

The implication is that Yahweh will accomplish his purpose against Babylon through this chosen man. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [through this man, Yahweh will accomplish his desire against Babylon]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠זְרֹע֖⁠וֹ כַּשְׂדִּֽים

and,arm_of,his \add_>ones\add*_from_Kasdiy
