Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הָעָם֙ הַהֹלְכִ֣ים בַּחֹ֔שֶׁךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: enlarged the,nation לא increased the,rejoicing rejoice to=your=face like,the_rejoicing_of at,harvest just=as rejoice when,divide,they plunder )
Isaiah is speaking as if the people’s distress and suffering were darkness. 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 who are suffering greatly]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בַּחֹ֔שֶׁךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: enlarged the,nation לא increased the,rejoicing rejoice to=your=face like,the_rejoicing_of at,harvest just=as rejoice when,divide,they plunder )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of darkness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in dark places]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
רָא֖וּ א֣וֹר גָּד֑וֹל
(Some words not found in UHB: enlarged the,nation לא increased the,rejoicing rejoice to=your=face like,the_rejoicing_of at,harvest just=as rejoice when,divide,they plunder )
Isaiah is speaking as if deliverance and hope were a great light. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [will experience great deliverance]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
צַלְמָ֔וֶת
(Some words not found in UHB: enlarged the,nation לא increased the,rejoicing rejoice to=your=face like,the_rejoicing_of at,harvest just=as rejoice when,divide,they plunder )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of deep darkness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a land where darkness is very deep]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
הָעָם֙ הַהֹלְכִ֣ים בַּחֹ֔שֶׁךְ רָא֖וּ א֣וֹר גָּד֑וֹל יֹשְׁבֵי֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ צַלְמָ֔וֶת א֖וֹר נָגַ֥הּ עֲלֵיהֶֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: enlarged the,nation לא increased the,rejoicing rejoice to=your=face like,the_rejoicing_of at,harvest just=as rejoice when,divide,they plunder )
These two sentences The people walking in darkness will see a great light and The dwellers of a land of deep darkness, light will shine on them mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [ The people walking in darkness will see a great light. Indeed, for the dwellers of a land of deep darkness, light will shine on them]

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.
