OET-LV In_ears_of_my YHWH soldiers/messengers if not houses many (into)_a_waste they_will_become great_houses and_good_houses will_be_from_not an_inhabitant.
OET (OET-RV) I heard Commander-in-chief Yahweh say:
⇔ ‘Surely many houses will end up empty—
⇔ ≈ even large and nice ones won’t have anyone living in them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּאָזְנָ֖י

Here, my ears represents hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [Yahweh of Armies spoke these words to me]
Note 2 topic: writing-oathformula
בְּאָזְנָ֖י יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת אִם־לֹ֞א בָּתִּ֤ים רַבִּים֙ לְשַׁמָּ֣ה יִֽהְי֔וּ
in,ears_of,my YHWH armies/messengers if not houses many (into)_a,waste become
This is the beginning of a solemn declaration from Yahweh of Armies that Isaiah heard. The word If introduces an oath in which Yahweh declares that what follows will certainly happen. Use a natural way of expressing a solemn oath in your language. Alternate translation: [Yahweh of Armies solemnly swore these words to me, I swear that houses will become a desolation,]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
לְשַׁמָּ֣ה
(into)_a,waste
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of desolation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [desolate]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
גְּדֹלִ֥ים וְטוֹבִ֖ים מֵאֵ֥ין יוֹשֵֽׁב
large and,good_[houses] [will,be]_from_not inhabitant
Isaiah is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [great houses and good house will be without a dweller]
OET-LV In_ears_of_my YHWH soldiers/messengers if not houses many (into)_a_waste they_will_become great_houses and_good_houses will_be_from_not an_inhabitant.
OET (OET-RV) I heard Commander-in-chief Yahweh say:
⇔ ‘Surely many houses will end up empty—
⇔ ≈ even large and nice ones won’t have anyone living in them.
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.
