OET interlinear ZEC 11:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

נְאֻם יְהוָ֑ה

declares_of YHWH

Even though Yahweh is speaking, he refers to himself in the third person as the declaration of Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [the declaration that I, Yahweh, am making]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

נְאֻם יְהוָ֑ה

declares_of YHWH

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of declaration, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [this is what Yahweh declares]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אָנֹכִ֜י מַמְצִ֣יא אֶת־הָ⁠אָדָ֗ם אִ֤ישׁ בְּ⁠יַד־רֵעֵ֨⁠הוּ֙ וּ⁠בְ⁠יַ֣ד מַלְכּ֔⁠וֹ

I fall DOM the=humankind (a)_man (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when not have_pity again/more on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in inhabitants_of the=earth/land declares_of YHWH and=see/lo/see! I fall DOM the=humankind (a)_man in,the_hand_of his/its=neighbour and,in,the_hand_of his_king_of,his and,they_will_crush DOM the=earth/land and=not deliver from,hand_of,their )

Here Yahweh is speaking as if he were causing people to fall into the power of their neighbors and king, as though pushing them down so that others could seize them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am handing mankind over, each man, to his neighbor and to his king]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אֶת הָ⁠אָדָ֗ם

DOM the=humankind

Here the masculine term mankind has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [all people]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠יַד־רֵעֵ֨⁠הוּ֙ וּ⁠בְ⁠יַ֣ד מַלְכּ֔⁠וֹ & מִ⁠יָּדָֽ⁠ם

in,the_hand_of his/its=neighbour and,in,the_hand_of his_king_of,his & from,hand_of,their

Here, hand represents power or control. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [under the control of his neighbor and of his king … from their power]
