OET interlinear NAH 1:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

מֹטֵ֖⁠הוּ

yoke-bar_of,his

In this verse, the word his continues to refer to the “plotter of evil” in [verse 10](../01/10.md), who represents the many plotters of evil in Nineveh, and so, as in [verse 12](../01/12.md), his here refers to all of them as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a plural pronoun. Alternate translation: [their yoke]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מֹטֵ֖⁠הוּ

yoke-bar_of,his

The author is speaking of oppression as if it were a yoke that weighs down a work animal. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [their control over you]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

מֵֽ⁠עָלָ֑יִ⁠ךְ וּ⁠מוֹסְרֹתַ֖יִ⁠ךְ

from,on,you and,fetters_of,your

The pronouns you and your refer to the people of Judah. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the nation’s name here. Alternate translation: [from upon you, Judah, and your shackles] or [off of you, people of Judah, and your shackles]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מוֹסְרֹתַ֖יִ⁠ךְ אֲנַתֵּֽק

and,fetters_of,your (Some words not found in UHB: and=now break yoke-bar_of,his from,on,you and,fetters_of,your snap )

The author is speaking of oppression as if it were shackles that bind a prisoner. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I will relieve your oppression]
