OET interlinear ZEC 12:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶ֤בֶן מַֽעֲמָסָה֙ לְ⁠כָל־הָ֣⁠עַמִּ֔ים

stone_of heavy to/from=all/each/any/every the,peoples

Here Yahweh is speaking of Jerusalem as if it were a stone of burden, that is, a stone so heavy that anyone who tries to lift it injures himself. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a burden too heavy for all of the peoples]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

שָׂר֣וֹט יִשָּׂרֵ֑טוּ

to_injure they_will_be_injured

Yahweh is repeating forms of the verb injuring in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [will certainly be severely injured]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

שָׂר֣וֹט יִשָּׂרֵ֑טוּ

to_injure they_will_be_injured

The expression will be injured is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [will surely cut themselves severely]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

כָּל־עֹמְסֶ֖י⁠הָ

all/each/any/every [those_of,who]_carry_it

Yahweh is using the participle the ones lifting it as a noun to mean a certain kind of person, namely, the nations who try to take Jerusalem for themselves. Your language may use participles in the same way. If not, you can translate this participle with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [All of the nations who try to lift it]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠נֶאֶסְפ֣וּ עָלֶ֔י⁠הָ כֹּ֖ל גּוֹיֵ֥י הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

and,they_will_gather on/upon=it(f) all nations_of the=earth/land

The expression will be gathered is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and all of the nations of the earth will assemble themselves against it]
