הַ⁠חֲסִידָ֑ה

of_(the),stork

A stork is a kind of large water bird with long legs, a long beak, and large, powerful wings. If your readers would not be familiar with what a stork is, you could use the name of a similar large bird that your readers would recognize, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [a large water bird]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְנָפַ֖יִם כְּ⁠כַנְפֵ֣י הַ⁠חֲסִידָ֑ה

wings like,the_wings_of of_(the),stork

The point of this comparison is that just as the wings of the stork are large and powerful, so the wings of these two women are large and powerful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [wings as large and powerful as those of a stork]
