OET interlinear ISA 60:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִי

who?

Yahweh is using the question form to express wonder at the ships coming swiftly like clouds and doves. 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: [How marvelous are these ones!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כָּ⁠עָ֣ב תְּעוּפֶ֑ינָה

like,cloud fly

The point of this comparison is that just as a cloud moves swiftly across the sky, so the ships move swiftly toward Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [They move swiftly, like a cloud moving across the sky]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠כַ⁠יּוֹנִ֖ים אֶל אֲרֻבֹּתֵי⁠הֶֽם

and,like,doves to/towards windows_of,their

Yahweh 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: [and they fly like doves fly to their coops]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ⁠כַ⁠יּוֹנִ֖ים אֶל אֲרֻבֹּתֵי⁠הֶֽם

and,like,doves to/towards windows_of,their

The point of this comparison is that just as doves fly quickly home to their coops, so the exiles hurry home to Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [and they hurry home as quickly as doves flying to their coops]
