OET interlinear ISA 61:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

כֹּהֲנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙ תִּקָּרֵ֔אוּ

priests_of YHWH called

The expression you will be called 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 will call you priests of Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

וְ⁠אַתֶּ֗ם כֹּהֲנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙ תִּקָּרֵ֔אוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl) priests_of YHWH called ministers_of our_God_of,our named to/for=you(pl) wealth_of nations eat and,in,abundance_of,their boast )

Isaiah is repeating the word you in order to emphasize and intensify the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [And you yourselves will be called priests of Yahweh]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כֹּהֲנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙

priests_of YHWH

Isaiah is speaking as if the people were literally priests of Yahweh. He means that they will have a special, honored relationship with Yahweh and will serve him as priests did. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [people who serve Yahweh in a special, honored way]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יֵאָמֵ֖ר לָ⁠כֶ֑ם

named to/for=you(pl)

The expression will be said to you 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: [is what people will call you]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

חֵ֤יל גּוֹיִם֙ תֹּאכֵ֔לוּ

wealth_of nations eat

Isaiah is speaking as if the people would literally eat the wealth of other nations. He means that they will consume and enjoy those valuable things. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You will enjoy the wealth of nations]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠בִ⁠כְבוֹדָ֖⁠ם תִּתְיַמָּֽרוּ

and,in,abundance_of,their boast

Here, glory represents “the wealth of the nations.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and you will boast yourself in their wealth]
