OET (OET-LV) I I am_he who_comforts_of_you(pl) who are_you and_you_have_been_afraid from_a_person who_he_dies and_from_a_child_of humankind who_grass he_is_made.
OET (OET-RV) ⇔ It’s me who’s the one who comforts you all.
⇔ Why would you be afraid of other humans who are just mortal,
⇔ or other descendants of humankind who are a temporary as grass.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
אָנֹכִ֧י אָנֹכִ֛י ה֖וּא
I I he/it
Yahweh is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as I am he already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize the importance of this declaration. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [It is I, Yahweh, who is he who comforts you]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
מְנַחֶמְכֶ֑ם מִֽי־אַ֤תְּ וַתִּֽירְאִי֙
[who]_comforts_of,you(pl) who? you and,you_have_been_afraid
The word you is feminine singular here because it refers to Zion. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction, and use the feminine form if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מְנַחֶמְכֶ֑ם מִֽי־אַ֤תְּ וַתִּֽירְאִי֙
[who]_comforts_of,you(pl) who? you and,you_have_been_afraid
By you*, Isaiah means Zion. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Who are you, Zion, that you should be afraid]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וַתִּֽירְאִי֙ מֵאֱנ֣וֹשׁ
and,you_have_been_afraid from,a_person
Yahweh is using the question form to rebuke his people for being afraid of mere mortals. 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: [have no reason to be afraid of your fellow man]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
מֵאֱנ֣וֹשׁ & וּמִבֶּן־אָדָ֖ם
from,a_person & and,from,a_child_of humankind
Here the masculine terms man and son of man have a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. See the UST.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יִנָּתֵֽן
made
The expression is given up 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: [he withers and dies]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
חָצִ֥יר יִנָּתֵֽן
grass made
The point of this comparison is that just as grass withers and dies quickly, so a mortal person will soon die. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [he is given up as quickly as grass withers and dies]
OET (OET-LV) I I am_he who_comforts_of_you(pl) who are_you and_you_have_been_afraid from_a_person who_he_dies and_from_a_child_of humankind who_grass he_is_made.
OET (OET-RV) ⇔ It’s me who’s the one who comforts you all.
⇔ Why would you be afraid of other humans who are just mortal,
⇔ or other descendants of humankind who are a temporary as grass.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
