Isa 64 V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V7 V8 V9 V10 V11 V12
OET (OET-LV) [fn] and_there_is_not one_who_calls on_name_of_your one_who_rouses_himself to_take_hold on/over_you(fs) if/because you_have_hidden face_of_your from_him/it and_you_have_melted_us in_the_hand_of our_iniquity_of_our.
64:6 Note: KJB: Isa.64.7
OET (OET-RV) We’ve all become like someone ‘unclean’
⇔
≈ and all the good things we do are like a used menstrual rag.
⇔
Because of our acts of disobedience,
⇔
all of us have been like leaves that withered and were carried off like the wind.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כַטָּמֵא֙
(Some words not found in UHB: and,there_[is]_not calls on,name_of,your attempts to,take_hold on/over=you(fs) that/for/because/then/when hidden face_of,your from=him/it and,you,have_melted_us in,the_hand_of our_iniquity_of,our )
The point of this comparison is that just as the unclean are ceremonially defiled and unacceptable, so the people who are speaking here have become unacceptable to Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [like people who are ceremonially defiled and rejected]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
כַטָּמֵא֙
(Some words not found in UHB: and,there_[is]_not calls on,name_of,your attempts to,take_hold on/over=you(fs) that/for/because/then/when hidden face_of,your from=him/it and,you,have_melted_us in,the_hand_of our_iniquity_of,our )
Isaiah is using the adjective unclean as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [like an unclean person]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
וּכְבֶ֥גֶד עִדִּ֖ים כָּל צִדְקֹתֵ֑ינוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,there_[is]_not calls on,name_of,your attempts to,take_hold on/over=you(fs) that/for/because/then/when hidden face_of,your from=him/it and,you,have_melted_us in,the_hand_of our_iniquity_of,our )
The point of this comparison is that just as a menstrual rag is unclean and worthless, so are all of our righteousnesses, the good deeds the people have done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [and all of our righteousnesses are unclean and worthless]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
כָּל צִדְקֹתֵ֑ינוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,there_[is]_not calls on,name_of,your attempts to,take_hold on/over=you(fs) that/for/because/then/when hidden face_of,your from=him/it and,you,have_melted_us in,the_hand_of our_iniquity_of,our )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousnesses, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [all the righteous things we do]
OET (OET-LV) [fn] and_there_is_not one_who_calls on_name_of_your one_who_rouses_himself to_take_hold on/over_you(fs) if/because you_have_hidden face_of_your from_him/it and_you_have_melted_us in_the_hand_of our_iniquity_of_our.

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
