OET interlinear ISA 52:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מי ל⁠י פֹה֙

מי ל,י here

Yahweh is using the question form to express his indignation over what is happening to his people. 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: [there is nothing left for me here!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

נְאֻם יְהוָ֔ה

declares_of YHWH

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of declaration, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [this is what Yahweh declares]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֻקַּ֥ח עַמִּ֖⁠י

he/it_was_taken people_of,my

The expression my people is taken 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: [enemies have taken my people]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

שְׁמִ֥⁠י מִנֹּאָֽץ

name_of,my blasphemed

The expression my name is being despised 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: [people are despising my name]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שְׁמִ֥⁠י

name_of,my

Here, my name represents “my reputation.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [my honor]
