uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει, ὅτι κάθημαι βασίλισσα &  καὶ χήρα οὐκ εἰμί καὶ πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω

in the heart ˱of˲_her ˱she˲_/is/_saying ¬that ˱I˲_/am/_sitting queen & and (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅσα ἐδόξασεν αὑτὴν καὶ ἐστρηνίασεν τοσοῦτον δότε αὐτῇ βασανισμὸν καὶ πένθος ὅτι ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει ὅτι κάθημαι βασίλισσα καὶ χήρα οὐκ εἰμί καὶ πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [she says in her heart that she sits as a queen and that she is not a widow and that she will not see mourning at all]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει

in the heart ˱of˲_her ˱she˲_/is/_saying

Here the heart figuratively represents the thoughts and motives. Alternate translation: [she thinks to herself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κάθημαι βασίλισσα

˱I˲_/am/_sitting queen

Here the word sit means “to be.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am a queen]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

χήρα οὐκ εἰμί

/a/_widow not ˱I˲_am

Babylon is referring to herself as not being dependent on anyone by association with the way that a widow in this culture likely would be dependent on others. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am not dependent on anyone]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω

mourning mourning by_no_means not ˱I˲_/may/_see

Here the word see means “to experience.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will not experience any mourning at all]
