uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

בְּ⁠הִֽתְעַטְּפָ֤⁠ם כֶּֽ⁠חָלָל֙ בִּ⁠רְחֹב֣וֹת עִ֔יר

(Some words not found in UHB: to,mothers_of,their say where bread and,wine when,they,faint_away like_(the)_[one],wounded in_[the],open_places_of (a)_city when,pours_itself_out life_of,their to/towards bosom_of their_mothers_of,their )

The writer compares the children to the slain collapsing in the streets, meaning the children fall as though they have been mortally wounded, but from hunger rather than the sword. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [when they collapse and die in the city streets]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠הִשְׁתַּפֵּ֣ךְ נַפְשָׁ֔⁠ם אֶל־חֵ֖יק אִמֹּתָֽ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: to,mothers_of,their say where bread and,wine when,they,faint_away like_(the)_[one],wounded in_[the],open_places_of (a)_city when,pours_itself_out life_of,their to/towards bosom_of their_mothers_of,their )

The writer is speaking of the children’s lives slowly draining away as if their souls were poured out like liquid from a container. He means that the children die slowly in their mothers’ arms. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [as they slowly die while their mothers hold them]

OET (OET-LV) to_mothers_of_their they_say where are_grain and_wine when_they_faint_away like_(the)_one_wounded in_the_open_places_of a_city when_pours_itself_out life_of_their to the_bosom_of their_mothers_of_their.

OET (OET-RV) They ask their mothers, “Where’s our food and drink?”
 ⇔ when they faint like the slain in the streets of the city,
 ⇔ when they die slowly in their mothers’ laps.

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.OET logo mark
