OET interlinear ISA 60:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וְ⁠עַמֵּ⁠ךְ֙ כֻּלָּ֣⁠ם

and,people_of,your of_them_of,all

In this verse, the word people is singular in form, but it refers to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural form of “people.” Alternate translation: [And the people of your nation, all of them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נֵ֧צֶר מַטָּעַ֛י

shoot_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,people_of,your of_them_of,all righteous forever,perpetuity possess land shoot_of my_planting(s)_of,my work_of my_hands_of,my to,glorify_myself )

Here Yahweh is speaking of his people as if they were a branch that he himself had planted. He means that he established them and caused them to flourish. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the people whom I have established]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָדַ֖⁠י

work_of my_hands_of,my

Yahweh is using my hands to represent himself as the one who acts. He means that his people are the work that he himself has done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the work that I have done]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לְ⁠הִתְפָּאֵֽר

to,glorify_myself

The expression may be glorified 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: [that I may show my glory]
