Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

חָרָה֩ אַף־יְהוָ֨ה בְּ⁠עַמּ֜⁠וֹ

it_glowed/burnt also/though YHWH on,people_of,his

Isaiah is using the nose of Yahweh burns as a common expression of the culture to mean “Yahweh is angry.” 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: [Yahweh is furious with his people]

וַ⁠יֵּ֣ט יָד֧⁠וֹ עָלָ֣י⁠ו וַ⁠יַּכֵּ֗⁠הוּ

and,he_has_stretched_out his/its=hand on/upon/above=him/it and,he,has_struck_it

Here, his hand represents Yahweh’s power to punish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and he has used his power against it and struck it]

וַ⁠תְּהִ֧י נִבְלָתָ֛⁠ם כַּ⁠סּוּחָ֖ה
