uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-oathformula

נִשְׁבַּ֧ע יְהוָ֛ה בִּֽ⁠ימִינ֖⁠וֹ וּ⁠בִ⁠זְר֣וֹעַ עֻזּ֑⁠וֹ

sworn YHWH by,his_right_of,hand and,by,the_arm_of his_strength_of,his

Following the custom of the culture, Yahweh is swearing an oath by stating the first part of a condition (“if”) but not the second part (“then”). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explicitly state the second part of this condition. Alternate translation: [Yahweh has sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his strength that he will never let the following happen]

בִּֽ⁠ימִינ֖⁠וֹ וּ⁠בִ⁠זְר֣וֹעַ עֻזּ֑⁠וֹ

by,his_right_of,hand and,by,the_arm_of his_strength_of,his

Here, his right hand and the arm of his strength represent “Yahweh’s power.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [by his own mighty power]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠בִ⁠זְר֣וֹעַ עֻזּ֑⁠וֹ

and,by,the_arm_of his_strength_of,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of strength, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and by his strong arm]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְנֵֽי נֵכָר֙

sons_of foreigner

Isaiah is using the sons of foreignness as a common expression of the culture to mean “foreigners.” 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: [people from other nations]
